Title: Motor Carrier Operations


1
Motor Carrier Operations
2
Global Limo Compliance Reviews
  • Preaccident (2004)
  • Numerous violations (drivers, vehicles)
  • Satisfactory rating
  • Postaccident (2005)
  • Numerous violations (drivers, vehicles)
  • Unsatisfactory rating
  • Consistent violations

3
Motor Carrier Safety
  • FMCSA
  • To reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities
  • FMCSRs
  • To establish safe operating requirements for
    vehicles, drivers, and motor carriers
  • Compliance review
  • To investigate safety regulation violations and
    calculate company safety fitness

4
Compliance Review Factors
  • General
  • Driver
  • Operational
  • Vehicle
  • Accident rate
  • Hazardous materials

5
Compliance Review Determination
  • Certain violations given numerical weight
  • Final safety fitness calculated
  • Satisfactory
  • Conditional
  • Unsatisfactory

6
Safety Rating Calculation
  • FMCSA All six factors weighed equally
  • NTSB Two most important factors are vehicle and
    driver

7
NTSB Accidents
  • Indianapolis, Indiana, 1995
  • 2 fatal
  • Significant driver, vehicle violations
  • H-99-6 issued
  • NTSBs Most Wanted List
  • H-99-6 added May 2000
  • Mountainburg, Arkansas, 2001
  • 3 fatal
  • Significant driver, vehicle issues
  • H-99-6 reiterated

8
Additional Accidents
  • Victor, New York, 2002
  • 5 fatal
  • Significant driver, vehicle violations
  • Wilmer, Texas, 2005
  • 23 fatal
  • Significant driver, vehicle violations

9
FMCSA Response to H-99-6
  • Reviewing safety rating method
  • CSA 2010 Initiative
  • New rating method by 2010 dependent on
  • Legislation
  • Rulemaking
  • Pilot testing
  • Training for deployment
  • Implementation

10
Compliance Review Rating
  • Violations of Federal safety regulations
  • Acute
  • Critical
  • Unrated violations not used in safety rating
  • Scenario of 100 noncompliance with unrated
    violations
  • Satisfactory carrier even with safety
    violations

11
Ineffective Rating Method
  • NTSB investigations of satisfactory carriers
    with fatal accidents
  • Compliance reviews (2005)
  • 8,097 completed, 96.7 with violations
  • 65 resulted in satisfactory ratings
  • 61,924 violations
  • 53,069 violations unrated (85.7)
  • Method inconsistent with safety

12
Summary
  • Accidents will continue until CSA 2010 Initiative
    is completed
  • With unrated violations in a carriers compliance
    review, safety violations occur without affecting
    safety rating
  • Current program does not identify unsafe
    operators
  • Interim measures necessary to improve current
    safety rating process
