Truck Safety Provisions Passed in Senate Highway Funding Bill - February 12, 2004

Federal Speeding Limits: Speed Policy & Implementation

In December 1995, Congress repealed the National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL), which had been 55 mi/h on urban Interstates and 65 mi/h on rural Interstates and certain rural Interstate look-alikes. Congress had linked noncompliance with the NMSL to possible loss of Federal funds. In 1997, the U.S. DOT developed the formal speed policy and implementation strategy in use today.

Axles to Grind: Driving Questions About the Limits to Place on Trucks Traveling Our Roads

"The American Trucking Association wants bigger trucks allowed on our highways. Longer combination vehicles, or LCVs, are three extraordinary trailer configurations that 21 states currently allow in one form or another... Trucking industry strategy has been to increase limits state by state; when size and weight limits are increased in one state, adjacent states feel pressured to conform to stay economically competitive... LCVs can impose great damage on the nation's highways and, more importantly, they raise concerns for the safety of the people buckled into cars in the lanes next to them."

Public Citizen's testimony on Truck Safety before the Senate Commerce Committee. (6/10/03)

Despite repeated promises by FMCSA to significantly reduce truck-related deaths and injuries on our highways and chart an improved course to enhance motor carrier safety, and despite increases in funding and resources for the new government agency, the traveling public remains the victim of an underachieving, and at times, indifferent agency. The annual death toll from truck-related crashes is the equivalent of 26 major airplane crashes every year. FMCSA adopted a goal in 1999 to reduce truck deaths and injuries by 50 percent over 10 years. That goal will not be achieved.

Trailer Underride Revisited (Article off-site)

"Prior to my retirement from active law enforcement (November 1988), I reconstructed an inordinate number of side "trailer underride" accidents. This prompted my first article on the subject, "Trailer Underride: The Almost Always Fatal Collision," (Law & Order, May, 1988). For those of you who missed it, the side trailer underride phenomenon to which I refer is the type of night-time accident where a tractor-semitrailer stops on a roadway and the driver begins a backing maneuver into a driveway or loading dock area. It can also happen when the driver pulls the rig out onto the highway from a loading zone or driveway, but this occurs less often."
