"Driving a truck is hard and challenging work. TSC wants to be sure everyone has had the necessary training to do so safely." Great, in-depth article from OVERDRIVE Alex Lockie U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy FMCSA overdriveonline.com/life/article/1…
This devastating Florida crash is yet another tragic example of how critical proper CDL Licensing is in keeping the traveling public safe. English Language Proficiency (ELP) has always been a safety issue and should be an OOS violation. transportation.gov/briefing-room/… U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy
Proud to see TSC & Families For Safe Streets volunteer, Julie Huntington fight for safer speeds and safer roads in her community. SPEED KILLS. It's why we need speed limiters to be required in all large trucks, better yet, ISA youtube.com/watch?v=_7ZhCM…
Thank you U.S. Department of Transportation U.S. DOT OIG for investigating fraudulently issued CDL's. ANYONE who hasn't met the minimum required training to operate an 80,000 truck is a THREAT to everyone on our roads. cdllife.com/2025/six-indic… #trucksafety
TSC is dismayed and disturbed to see U.S. Department of Transportation's new HOS Pilot Programs. They disregard driver safety & the traveling public...allowing someone driving an 80,000 rig to stay awake 17 hours in a day is beyond absurd. transportation.gov/briefing-room/… #TruckSafety John Gallagher
TSC and its volunteers are calling attention to the truck crash crisis and demanding action to keep the public safe!! 🙌 ccjdigital.com/regulations/ar… #trucksafety CCJ Magazine
Kudos to NY DA Anne Donnelly for filing charges against all participants in this CDL fraud scheme. Fraudulently issued CDLs puts EVERYONE at risk on our roads. cbsnews.com/newyork/news/d… #TruckSafety CBS New York
The company & driver behind this crash was likely exempt from HOS Regulations. Creating more opportunities for drowsy drivers is nonsensical & Congress required U.S. Department of Transportation to issue a rule for Automatic Emergency Braking by 11/23 We're still waiting. abcnews.go.com/US/85-crash-8-… ABC News
TSC applauds & Mellissa Dzion, Connor's mother, applaud Connor's Law introduction in the Senate by Senator Cynthia Lummis and Sen. John Barrasso We need to protect American lives from dangerous, unqualified, & unsafe people from driving large trucks." lummis.senate.gov/press-releases… #trucksafety
READ: Group letter to Secretary Sean Duffy signed by Advocates, AAA Kids and Car Safety TruckSafetyCoalition Center for Auto Safety & others urging U.S. Department of Transportation to complete rulemaking requiring automatic emergency braking in all new commercial motor vehicles. saferoads.org/2025-aeb-cmv-l…
The driver was JUST 21. Can you believe the trucking industry is lobbying Congress to lower the age to drive large trucks in interstate commerce to 18!!! 🤯🤯 latimes.com/california/sto… Congressman Jared Golden Rep. Salud Carbajal Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Rep. Rick Larsen @transportGOP Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure #trucksafety
"What the trucking sector needs is not simply more drivers, but rather a renewed commitment to fair labor practices & rigorous safety standards that protect both drivers and the public" It shouldn't be this rare to state the obvious, THX Craig Fuller 🛩🚛🚂⚓️👏 freightwaves.com/news/the-ata-h…
