It is critical that all of us in the transportation business stay informed on what may be happening in our industry or the regulations that might affect the way we do business. Recently the DOT (FMCSA) made a couple of significant changes to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and there are a few proposed regulation changes that we expect to become Final Rules this year. This March 2015 Newsletter summarizes the changes and provides practical best practice recommendations on how motor carriersmay want to implement them.
Monthly DOT Safety Plus will provide actual case study experiences of other carriers or regulation changes as applicable to assist you in solidifying your own programs. We welcome contributions from those of you who find this newsletter format valuable and who like to help others with best practice ideas or practical ideas on how to avoid roadblocks to a profitable and safe operation. Please contact Jeff Simon with your comments or contributions.
