Last December the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rolled out a new nationwide safety system referred to as Compliance, Safety Accountability (CSA). This initiative introduces new enforcement and compliance responsibilities with the purpose of reducing crashes, injuries and fatalities related to commercial motor vehicles.

Since inception, 70 to 75 percent of all CSA points can be traced back to maintenance or unsafe driving violations, says Drew Anderson, director of sales for Vigillo, which provides CSA compliance services.

Under the old safety system, FMCSA limited its analysis of roadside inspection data to violations that resulted in out-of-service orders. But under the new CSA program, all safety violations are included. This means violations that used to be statistically insignificant will now carry significant weight.

Business owners also are learning that one of the most important elements of a successful CSA compliance program is a careful pre-trip and post-trip inspection by the driver followed up by paying close attention to the Driver Vehicle Inspection Report.

Compliance experts at J.J. Keller emphasize that the maintenance BASIC is not just the maintenance department’s responsibility.

J. J Keller said…

• The motor carrier is responsible to its employees and the public for providing safe vehicles to travel the highways.
• The safety department has the responsibility for ensuring all records and requirements are accurate and retained for the specified amount of time.
• Drivers are responsible for their professionalism in all safety-related matters, including not only the operation of the equipment, but also pretrip and post-trip vehicle inspection reporting and documentation.
• Dispatchers and all operation supervisors are responsible for the accurate direction of all safety policies. They must have a full understanding of the severity of allowing sub-standard equipment to travel the highways without required maintenance.

C. C. Mangum Consulting is not a regulatory compliance company but we understand the importance of a fleet inspection program for on and off-road equipment and vehicles. We begin by performing a comprehensive review of your fleet. Our reviewing process is two fold: First, we perform a thorough review of your equipment data and master files for the fleet, plus we examine your equipment cost accounting system, equipment cost history and rate setting method. Second, we perform a comprehensive field inspection of your fleet.

Once we have collected this information and developed a thorough understanding of your fleet and equipment accounting methods, we meet with you and present a summary report of our findings. In that report we provide an expert analysis regarding immediate and long-term enhancements to improve the efficiency and lower the ownership and operating costs of your fleet.

Contact us at www.ccmangum.com and let’s discuss how we can work with your team.

For more information on CSA you can visit the USDOT’s CSA website at: http://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/

Employee engagement requires your team to understand the important role they play in taking care of your fleet. The care of your fleet is tied directly to the success and profitability of your company. If equipment and vehicles are down due to abuse or lack of daily inspections then each employee’s job may very well be in jeopardy.

Preventive maintenance – To some owners, preventive maintenance is an investment as opposed to a cost because they know an effective preventive maintenance program will improve their fleet’s reliability and reduce future repair costs. Therefore, an effective preventive maintenance program will significantly improve profitability.

With the increasingly competitive business environment, owners must always be on the lookout for every opportunity to shrink their expenses and increase their fleets’ utilization. TrakWise, the fleet management software developed by CCMC, will be an invaluable tool for your business—a tool to improve your bottom line.

Chris Mangum, son of Bill Mangum and grandson of Cleve Mangum, revives the Mangum corporate name.

Raleigh, NC June 24, 2011. Chris Mangum and brother, Michael, sold C.C. Mangum in January 2010. The Mangum family had long been an integral part of the economic development and growth of the greater Raleigh area. Now, Chris has launched a new venture, C.C. Mangum Consulting (www.ccmangum.com), which specializes in fleet management services for off-road equipment and over-the-road vehicles.

C.C. Mangum, a grading construction business, was founded by Cleve C. Mangum in 1927, an era where dirt was moved using mules and drag pans. Over Cleve’s career heavy equipment rapidly replaced mules, transforming the industry and vastly improving productivity.

William E. (Bill) Mangum assumed control of the business in 1953 following his father’s death. Continuing Cleve’s entrepreneurial spirit, Bill grew and diversified C.C. Mangum, entering the hot-mix asphalt production and laydown industry as well as bridge-building. Bill’s sons, Chris and Michael, led the business beginning in the 1990’s and until the business was sold. At its peak, C.C. Mangum generated over $80 Million of construction services annually, providing employment to over 400 people.

Chris Mangum said, “It is a great privilege and blessing to follow the examples of my father and grandfather by providing service and offering employment opportunity to the people of central North Carolina. My prayer is that C.C. Mangum Consulting will leave the same legacy as my forefathers, one of integrity, excellence and faith.”
