The hazardous material violations do not place any accountability with the actual shipper of the materials who produces the documentation of the shipment. If a shipper provides a driver of a transportation company a document that is not clear and does not follow the proper procedures the driver is found in violation of hazmat rules, even though he was not the one who produced those documents. If he picks up after normal work hours, he has no way of getting those documents changed until the next work day, which means he will have to sit at the customers location for up to 72 hours on the weeked, just to have a document changed. If it is an import load, the information is provided by an oversee's company and he has no way of getting it changed yet he is found fully responsible. We transport containerized cargo which we are not allowed to open or break the seal. Our driver was found guilty and our company is now responsible because the customer did not properly secure the package inside the containerized cargo. Too many of your violations are caused by shippers and not the transportation companies yet you hold us entirely responsible for them....not too mention, not one of these violations produced in this basic will have any effect on preventing accidents which was supposed to be the purpose of csa in the first place.... Not a fan of the change...at all.
