FMCSA not updating the information on the new broker bonds.....

Maybe the Senate shut them down too.

 

FMCSA is affected by the puppet shutdown.

 

What I got from the email is that FMCSA is updating their own database, just not pushing the data out to DAT. DAT could put a bit more effort into it and have a developer spend a day designing and writing a script that manually pulls that data from the public interface when a user requests it. They have provided a simple workaround that takes you to the public interface page so that you can look it up yourself, but I feel that they can and should do more for their paying customers instead of throwing their hands up and saying 'that's all we can do folks, we're waiting on the government now. '

 

Oh, trust me - I'm not defending the government. They pay their contractors enough that they should have gotten this right. I'm simply pointing out that DAT seems to be shifting the blame and applying a cheap band-aid rather than stepping up to the plate.

 

A court order was issued suspending the bond increase. FMCSA has ignored it and an army of lawyers that have been fighting this bond are back in front of the judge this morning letting him know that they are violating the order.

It is going to get interesting.
