Federal trucking regulators have implemented a rulemaking that creates a new digitalized system to replace outdated medical examiner paper documents.

Using Compliance Safety Accountability Safety Measurement System scores alone to predict an individual fleet’s propensity to be involved in a crash might be "Mission Impossible."

FMCSA  is seeking public input about its planned revision to the National Consumer Complaint Database that handles complaints against unsafe and unscrupulous companies.

FMCSA is seeking grant applications by July 7 for $89.4 million in Commercial Driver’s License Program Implementation funds to improve highway safety.

CVSA inspectors on June 25 will begin issuing out-of-service violations for truckers unable to pass roadside tests for communicating in English and understanding road signs.

While many of the revisions may seem minor, the agency said that in total, the deregulatory package will rescind, withdraw or amend burdensome regulations that do not enhance safety.

Nearly 40% of truck drivers are misusing personal conveyance time, according to Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance inspections.   

Carriers must replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the Registered Devices list before July 11. Those that continue to use them will be considered as operating without an ELD.

Inspectors have quietly gathered data on truck driver personal conveyance time and are making plans to soon ask regulators to limit the use of conveyance time to two hours.

During the three-day event, which takes place across Canada, Mexico and the United States, law enforcement personnel will conduct inspections of commercial motor vehicles and drivers.
