U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) introduced legislation this week that would improve highway safety and implement motor carrier standards.
The Motor Carrier Safety Selection Standard Act would require the U.S. Department of Transportation to establish a Safety Fitness Determination test for shippers and brokers as a way to ensure that trucking companies are licensed, registered and insured. The legislation was co-sponsored by U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID).
