FMCSA Crash Accountability Report comes up short, according to ATA

摘要

The American Trucking Associations expressed its disappointment that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) continued its efforts to delay appropriate action on the important issue of crash accountability in its CSA program. "Numerous times over the past five years, ATA has respectfully requested FMCSA to screen out crashes from CSA where it is plainly evident the professional truck driver and motor carrier were not at fault," said ATA Executive Vice-President Dave Osiecki. "Instances where a truck is rear ended by a drunk driver, or hit head on by a motorist traveling in the wrong direction on the interstate, or as happened just (recently) when a truck was struck by a collapsing bridge are clearly not the fault of the professional driver and certainly should not be used to target his or her carrier for potentially intrusive government oversight."
