OOIDA asks FMCSA for complete, accurate data on approved Mexican trucks

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. — The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) often claims Mexican trucks are safer than U.S. trucks, but available data doesn’t back up those claims, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) stated in a news release.


OOIDA requested that FMCSA provide explanations as to why certain carriers have been given approval to enter the United States when little or no data is available to demonstrate how they have fully complied with all applicable laws on safety and security. The request was included in OOIDA’s comments posted to the FMCSA public notice in the Federal Register. That notice discloses several Mexico-domiciled motor carriers that have passed a Pre-Authority Safety Audit (PASA).



In review of the published notice, OOIDA found it only shows whether certain Mexican motor carriers passed certain categories, but nothing about the data relied upon to make those determinations.


[b]“It’s like they are still making it up as they go along,â€

Our government would never lie - surely not!!!!

OOIDA talks a big game....but as sorely lacking in the investigation follow up dept....I don't trust them.....At one time they had put a members joining in Spanish....I called them and with in a week it was gone...I just feel the money makes it worth playing both sides of the fence ...with these boys....I hope I am wrong

They are just like the rest of our government, they are going to do what ever the hell they want.

And just how are they doing this with no funding?
