Improving CSA Scores
Topic 32012 | Page 1
Csa score goes against a carrier not a driver. Maybe you can ask them to clarify. Maybe it's your psp report?
CSA:
Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA)
The CSA is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicle
CSA violations go against both company and driver scores. I takes 3 years of clean driving to get scores removed. Every year a third of the point ranking goes off your record. Points are based off a severity rating dependent on the infractions. Every written ticket and citation; except over-weights, effect your score. So really the only way to get better is drive clean and legal and the passage of time.

It is your PSP, which doesn't have a "score."
