The fmcsa implementing anti crash braking systems Jan 2023

Very true ... If all this stuff doesnt look like an attempt to futher push every small business out of this industry , im not sure what does... All in the name of safety

 

getting rid of owner ops altogether is the easiest option….

 

I feel like this will be put off for a few years till the new truck manufacturers have a chance to make it pass government tests???

 

FMCSA does not care. Not one bit.

 

Government doesn’t do tests. They will look or even pay for studies run by the manufactures of the anti collision devices. If a group is doing a study, bendix, insurance companies, and the ATA deep pockets won’t be far giving the group $$ It’s all about money. Put the small fleets and O/O out of business. Company drivers for life.

 

This is how I understood it. Starting in 24 for example only all trucks will have to have it installed from the factory. I also. believe the dealers will not be able to turn them off once they are from the factory.

 

Legal system is the problem. Too many get a tap on the bumper and believe they're entitled to a million bucks.

 

Thank goodness because trucks equipped with this never wreck ever since it was put in fleet rigs! It's a miracle!

 

Dealers won't disable them now anyway from what l heard. You can do Trucking Answers on YouTube trick, cardboard about the size of the front sensor wrapped in aluminum foil and colored black with a permanent marker. But then you have no cruise control.
