What Does The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Have To Do With Trucking?

I keep hearing trucking company ads for hiring drivers on satellite radio talk about "CSA". :bigthink:

They might be referring to the FMCSA CSA 2010 enforcement program. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...nd10/shrug.gif

OK? Now, what does CSA stand for? :confused: It would be nice if they would get the word out in an effective manner.

I was wondering when this confusion would happen. The FMCSA wasn't thinking of Canada's CSA when they came up with that name. For those Americans that don't know, having a product stamped with CSA is the same as the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification.

The CSA in U.S. trucking is FMCSA’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program — formerly known as Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA 2010).

Sounds like just yet another example of Obama's "nanny state" government micromanagement of stuff that they should just leave well enough alone!
