Your Trucking, Warehouse & Shipping Supply Company ~ Since 1999
The FMCSA was created in January 2000 as a subsidiary of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). The purpose of the FMCSA is to develop and deploy data driven safety regulations and statistics pertaining to the commercial trucking industry and large bus companies in the United Sates, pursant to the "Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act" of 1999.
The FMCSA currently employs over 1,000 people throughout the United States. The Administration is headquartered in Washington D.C.
Some of the main functions of the FMCSA include:
1). Develop and deply data driven safety regulations and statistics for commercial carriers with precision and efficiency.
2). Incorporate data to produce safety practices which focuses on higher risk carriers.
3). Create educational resources, messaging and data for commercial carriers, drivers and the general public.
The FMCSA partners with state, federal and local agencies, safety groups and organizations in an overall effort to reduce crashes and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.
CSA (Compliance, Safety and Accountability) is a program developed by the FMCSA designed to oversee carrier safety performance via roadside inspections, accident investigations and violations and to detect non-compliance of safety regulations. A key component of the CSA program is the SMS (Safety Measurement System) which relies on safety data analysis to identify companies that are non-compliant and unsafe, and then prioritize them for enforcement interventions. The SMS is designed to strengthen FMCSA's ability to identify companies for investigation before they become involved in a violation, accident, incident or a fatality.
The FMCSA develps many well known safety regulations such as HOS (Hours of Service) regulations for commercial carriers. These HOS regulations are developed in order to reduce CMV operator fatigue. The HOS rules are periodically revisited and edited when needed.
Another rule developed by the FMCSA is the National Registry. The National Registry rule requires all Medical Examiners who conduct CDL driver physical examinations and in turn issue Medical Examiner's certificates to undergo training specific to the requiremnts set forth by the agency. The ME's must pass a certification test and demonstarte competence through periodic training. CDL drivers who wish to oprate a CMV must visit a medical Examiner on the National Registry in order to be issued a Medical Examiner's Certificate.
