FMCSA Chief * USA - Senate Confirms Ferro as
Former trucking association leader to take on driver hours, highway safety
Washington,DC,USA -The Journal of Commerce Online, by William B. Cassidy -Nov 6, 2009: -- The U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Anne S. Ferro as Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator yesterday, putting a former trucking association executive in charge of the nation’s truck safety watchdog at the Department of Transportation... She takes charge at FMCSA as it reopens its rulemaking on truck driver hours of service, one of the most contentious issues facing the agency... Her nomination outraged the Teamsters union and several public safety groups opposed to changes in the hours-of-service rules that Ferro supported as head of the MMTA... At her hearing, she promised to be a “fair and balanced regulator” who would use “data-driven, sound scientific research” to significantly reduce truck and bus crashes...
