A resource for victims of negligent truck drivers.

Why are large truck crashes on the rise?

• Office of Motor Carriers (OMC) is ignoring recommendations to stiffen enforcement of truck driving hours restrictions.
• OMC not issuing federally mandated driver training standards.
• OMC not assigning safety ratings to all motor carriers as required.
• OMC contracting with the trucking industry to conduct research for regulatory purposes.
• OMC delaying the issuance of truck visibility regulations.
• OMC failing to implement inspection system on motor carriers from Mexico. (44% of these trucks were removed from service due to safety violations)
• OMC proposing to eliminate the prohibition against televisions in truck cabs.
