CSA Tire Inspection

Michelin and the Tire Industry Association (TIA) have partnered on another free training video for the tire and transportation industries. This video covers the guidelines for inspecting truck tires under the new Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Program administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

[@TheLifelongfan]

At the end of the day my family and friends are on the roads and highways, and I would expect all vehicle users to do their job as they are supposed to do in making sure their vehicles are safe to operate on the roads and highways. SAFETY FIRST.

[@cameronduff884]

Thank you Doug and friends for the info, I will keep changing the tires with the best tools and techniques at my disposal.

[@telavie1]

I have worked for companies that force drivers to run with obvious infractions and to go around the scales.

[@savagenomore]

that's when you report them and drive for a company that takes driver safety serious, there are companies that do...

[@neilcigelske4454]

I second that reply, to many companies looking for drivers to put up with unsafe policies.

[@ThunderAppeal]

Hauling freight is not cheap. This is what you get when brokers have been running drivers ragged for pennies on the dollar. Everyone wants to have something shipped, but no one wants to pay.

[@adamsdomthiphavong5111]

i agree ......safety come first . thank you

[@tdeluca88]

I personally have gotten a flat during a day putting on 3-500 miles easy. It is all too simple for a random check to occur during that short time it is until your next stop/inspection.

[@joshthompson1755]

I’m happy I stay local and are aware on how to skip around weight stations lol

[@briangordon4005]

Then your a dangerous dumb ass, and dont grip when someone like you hurts or kills someone in your family.

[@markwatson214]

It was a good to know were to look and look for and how to learn to do the everday thing they do

[@scotthulsey8763]

I find nails,screws,all the time in tires.

[@ItalianStallion1415]

I didn't know about the weight limit for regroved tires for tractors and striaght trucks

[@Peterbilt359]

It's sad that so many inspectors put there own spin on things to make your day miserable.

[@TheBigdog868]

Like everything else the drivers get the short end. Like we can control how the company maintains their junk. I can't make a living sitting at terminals Mr dot.

[@ericboyer6160]

Other can't make a living when dead, because a tire comes apart that you should have had fixed hits their car and causes them to crash.

[@worldpeacelover5417]

Eric Boyer it’s companies duty in my mind. I’m not commercial driver but I have friends who talk about these problems.Always instead of giving ticket to big companies poor driver gets ticket.

[@Sara-L]

Just want to put this in here.. While this is a 5 year old video, and the standards for inspections have changed over the years..I'd like to see these sorts of things on the 4-wheeled vehicles on the road: Not just an annual inspection, but a comprehensive evaluation of all the points mentioned in the video., including driver fitness (medical cards, training!) and fatigued driving violations. If it were up to me, I'd put this sort of thing as a safety inspection at toll plazas. When you consider that most accidents on our roads are caused by drivers of the 4-wheeled kind - even accounting for the ratio of vehicles of each type on the road - this actually makes sense. Just imagine what issues could be avoided if federal regulations required any motor vehicle operator - not just semi truck drivers - to complete a full pre-trip inspection of their vehicle, when traveling?

[@GodzCh1ld777]

Most wheelers suitor be driving then. Especially with those beaters they bought for 200 bucks

[@2500grit]

The inspections for automobiles were a common thing back in the days but for some reasons not any more

[@mwalker3547]

I agree!

[@Jackknife-TV]

Man there's some DOT inspectors that should watch this video 🤔

[@Acts238Church]

One of the best tires in the industry!!!, But like all things that are best, if you want it is gonna cost you

[@nisw1918]

[@howtowin.facts.7247]

that's a rocking song!

[@Smellsoscentsational]

I liked both of the songs they played, like damn whose the artists of the songs...

[@NeilLB7]

Funny thing is...some state and local municipal heavy duty trucks are exempt from such inspections. Agencies such as highway departments who operate tandem axle trucks as well as low-boy tractor trailers are never inspected. They run tires to the point of explosion and destruction...to save a dime in the budget. Same with brakes. If our county trucks were inspected, they would all be placed out of service with no possibility to pay for all the needed work. Yet if a local contractor did this with a truck...ticket. Go figure.

[@gregorydavis4831]

+NeilLB7 So true, municipal vehicles are not inspected here. Get hit by a city, county or state vehicle you're never getting paid for your vehicle. Enforcement is all about revenue generation.

[@swmp9x19]

+NeilLB7 Did you really think it would be any other way? Government exist to regulate the population, not itself.

[@mwalker3547]

It's all about revenue.

[@alien4fish]

I hope i NEVER run into this DOT cop at the scales! Wholey shit this guys a hard ass......I am soo thankful for the DOT Cops we here in my town

[@SOVEREIGNDesigns]

worse then a hard ass, wants to be a hard ass. all that posing LMAO .

[@kevinatspeed]

i'm not a truck driver but, comparing and scoring companies against one another is stupid. also stupid: i heard no option given for simply warning a driver or allowing the driver to have violation dismissed after proof of repair. If so much emphasis is on tires, then while the inspection station is open a mobile repair service should be available to do paid on the spot repairs/maintenance. this would prove the goal is safety and not a money grab by the state.

[@Smellsoscentsational]

I always learn from this channel,,,but i would like to know the artists of those songs...

[@Salty_reviews]

That's the coops on 40 east of mebane!

[@Silkfox]

If Truckign companies are like other buisnesses then the 'safety first' is just a slogan but never enforced, they only say it when it looks good but in operation they just tell you to get the job done and ignore safety. Up until something happens then they pretend they never told you to keep working and blame you for the accident. Never give into these bullies, if there's unsafe condition and your boss won't deal with it, make an anonymous phone call.

[@nemo227]

I've always thought: Safety First, not second, not third. Safety First. Not just a slogan, a way of life.

[@dewaynemiguel5695]

This new crap makes me so glad I'm retired now these new rules are only to limit the blame from the company and place it on the drivers

[@turbo12v]

And always drivers fault!

[@stevefromPA2]

Im pessimistic I start believing safety when I witness any company that doesn't pit me against my dispacher and the safety manager....some Examples..being told to drive a truck that was just involed in a major accident with its front end missing, Being told to drive a truck to the leasing company for oil with no oil in the truck because they didn't want to pay to have oil on site....being told to deliever a load that was in a high cube container that was 94,000lbs plus....being sent home cause I refused to drive a truck whos right mirror, main and bottom round was missing.....

[@atomic3939]

If they think the driver shortage is bad now..just wait until CSA 2010 is fully implemented. These new regulations are SO over-bearing..it will not only drive away bad carriers and bad drivers....it will also drive away good drivers in huge numbers. Good drivers....who already put up with relatively low pay and low quality of life..will simply throw up their hands in disgust at THIS level of harrassment. Like everything else...it's all about increasing the revenue coming into the state coffers.

[@jamesbenedict7206]

Why ticket the driver? Ticket the company!

[@FernandoSanchez-su6bf]

and what if the owner is the driver?

Why no recapped tires on buses front end ?

[@davidlayton542]

FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER IS NOT IN YOUR CORNER THEY ARE TO ANTI LABOR FRIG EM....If you can get out of trucking...

[@Wildcat5181]

I disagree. If a drivers operate a rig with a flat tire he has either been negligent( subject to fines), or untrained( training required at company expense, fines for failure to supervise pre-trip and OTR equipment checks). You can train and talk all you want, but nothing gets attention better than a hardy fine. I don't like the concept but it is the reality.

[@andrewm5190]

What are the rules on flatspotting on tires? We have some yardspotters whose tug test is dragging the trailer 10 feet. Is it still ok to drive with flatspots on tires?

[@PickleFlopper]

I know you asked this four years ago, but I figured it’s important to answer. As long as the main tread lines do not fall at 4/32nd’s of an inch or below in depth AT ANY POINT of the main treads, you can continue to drive them. If below 2/32nd’s of an inch, it is automatic out-of-service. But remember, with flat spots, they will easily wear faster.

[@kennyg.4329]

I know exactly what weigh station that is.

[@1010109999999]

This is great they're making sure we have new tires in the trucks have good maintenance how about making a LAW!!! that we actually get paid right for the loads that we Haul so we can run new tires an get plenty of maintenance how about that! Were is that law most of the guys I talk to most of their loads barely pay enough for them to even get fuel an a few things for the truck that needs to change # got to stop running cheap freight. I'm fine with them trying to regulate the trucks and keeping them safe but how about regulating the load board in these companies that don't want to pay regulate that

[@neckarsulme]

can having bald spots and a hole in the tread put a truck out of service? And who gets the ticket?

[@vanlitespeed9325]

the scoring system is a joke. so if your company does a better job, but so do others, depending on how many carriers did better as well, then your companies score can get worse. how stupid is that.

[@mattberg916]

So when does the DOT get serious and apply all the same rules to the 4 wheelers? OH, that's right ....never

There's always someone bitching that "my dispatcher made me do it" or "my company forces me to..." Bulshit, no one is pointing a gun at you to stay at that company. You made a choice and continue to make a choice to work there. Most people working for shit companies do it because they have DUI's, had preventable accidents, criminal records or excessive infractions, if that's you, then it's your own doing.
