Regulators * USA - Consider new trucker entrant exam
Washington,DC,USA -Today's Trucking (CAN) -27 Aug 2009: -- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has released an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, requesting comments from the industry on whether the agency should require new carrier applicants to pass a safety examination as part of its revised New Entrant Safety Assurance Process... The move comes on the heels of the agency's new rule passed in December, which raised the compliance standards for passing new entrant safety audits... Under that rule, a newly registered trucking or bus company will automatically fail its safety audit if it violates any one of 16 essential federal regulations during the 18-month safety monitoring period... This is part of FMCSA's ongoing effort to ensure that new entrants into the business are prepared to meet their safety responsibilities. A final rule probably is several years away...Labels: rules and regulations
