INDUSTRY NEWS:

FMCSA Tightens New Entrant Safety Rules
New entrants will have to survive a more rigorous test of their safety fitness under new rules issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The regulations, to be published in the Dec. 16 Federal Register, identify 16 violations that FMCSA deems to be essential elements of basic safety management controls necessary to operate in interstate commerce. Failure to comply with any one of those 16 regulations results in an automatic failure of the new entrant safety audit, which is supposed to occur within the first 18 months of a new entrant’s operation.

Among the 16 “sudden death” violations, 14 would lead to failure of an audit based on a single occurrence. Two regulations - failing to require a driver to make a record of duty status, and using a commercial motor vehicle not periodically inspected - require a threshold of 51 percent or more of examined records to trigger automatic failure.
