Summarization
Truck parking shortage remains a major issue in the transportation industry, with advocates calling for action from agencies such as FMCSA and Secretary Pete. Speed limiters and automatic braking are also being pushed for by safety advocates. FMCSA has implemented new CDL training requirements and proposed changes to its Safety Measurement System. The agency is also seeking comments on a proposal to hold brokers accountable for paying claims on time and in full. An art contest has been launched to raise awareness about sharing the road with large trucks and buses. Concerns have been raised about the safety failures of autonomous vehicles and the need for clear leadership from FMCSA and USDOT. Self-certification remains a failed policy according to some critics.
