OIG makes 5 recommendations to improve safety related to Mexican trucks in U.S.

Quote:

WASHINGTON — The Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation has made five recommendations to improve safety related to Mexico-domiciled motor carriers potentially operating beyond narrow commercial zones along the border. The safety criteria were established in a section of a 2002 appropriations act dealing with Mexico-domiciled carriers operating in the U.S.

The act set forth eight safety criteria.

In a report released this week, OIG cited two areas where it felt Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration had not totally met the criteria — having adequate capacity at the southern border to conduct meaningful inspections and having sufficient databases to allow safety monitoring of Mexican carriers and drivers.

The OIG said the FMCSA had met the other six criteria.
