TRUCKERS' RULES * USA: Working on an effective driver-training rule

* DC - For more than 20 years, the Department of Transportation has attempted to produce minimum training requirements for entry-level drivers. Prior attempts have failed to pass judicial scrutiny

-- On Feb. 10, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced the list of industry participants for the Entry-Level Driver Training Advisory Committee. The first meeting stakeholders will discuss various ideas to establish minimum training requirements for future drivers and then attempt to write the regulation for these requirements. This process is called a negotiated rulemaking... In this negotiated rulemaking, FMCSA selected 26 individuals representing various industries that are connected to trucking, including the Commercial Vehicle Training Association, to “negotiate” a proposed regulation... It will focus on the following topics: 
 • Development of minimum training requirements for individuals applying for a commercial driver license for the first time or upgrading from one class of CDL to another. 
 • Determining the amount of behind-the-wheel training and classroom instruction. 
 • Gathering and providing data to quantify the costs and safety benefits of training. 
 • Accreditation versus certification of entry-level driver training programs and schools.
 • Contents of driver-training curricula, including separate course modules for motorcoach and passenger carriers, as well as hazardous materials carriers. 
 • Instructor qualifications and requirements. 
 • A performance-based approach versus a minimum hours-of-training approach, as well as simulation training and special considerations... (Photo: Not enough truckers) - Washington,DC,USA - Transport Topics, by Don Lefeve -Feb. 23 , 2015
