Both drivers and carriers will have an opportunity to contest the alleged violations and the amount of the civil penalties, FMCSA noted...

"Adam Smith" said: It is good to know that government is now taking action against drugs and alcohols during duty time of drivers. It can overcome several road safety issues and can save many life.
