CSA Training Courses

Online CSA Training
for Drivers and Managers

When your fleet uses Pro-TREAD to train, you get free access to our entire CSA lesson group. This up-to-date course focuses on what is expected of drivers and fleets from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Agency (FMCSA).

This new training course packs a lot of information into your precious 45 minutes. The CSS Course covers:

  • The FMCSA rules
  • Types of infractions
  • Penalties

And like all Pro-TREAD training, it’s available on most in-cab devices used by fleets and owner operators. Drivers can start and stop the course whenever they need, and will not lose their progress.

Driver Training Reduces CSA Scores


The more drivers train, the lower the fleet's Unsafe Driving CSA.


We looked at the industry averages for each BASIC, and we looked at the same information in our own client base. For our entire client base, they scored 24 points lower on average. For those clients who take only 4 or more lessons per user per year — that’s 25 minutes of online or in-cab driver training every three months — the fleet scored 30 points lower for each BASIC. When we looked at fleets taking 6+ lessons per driver per year, they scored 34 points better on average.
