The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is launching a new panel of its Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee (MCSAC).
Hailing from all sectors of the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry, the panel will comprise 20 to 25 drivers, including tractor trailer drivers, straight truck drivers, motor coach drivers, hazardous materials drivers, and agriculture haulers.
The panel will give FMCSA direct feedback on the driving community’s concerns, such as safety, hours-of-service regulations, training, parking, and driver experience.
The panel aims to capture the CMV community’s varied viewpoints and experiences.
