Meera Joshi vows to crack down on us out of control truckers if confirmed

[Mike]

The nation's top trucking regulator told lawmakers she is committed to taking concrete steps to reduce deaths and injuries from large-truck crashes.

At her nomination hearing on Wednesday to be the seventh administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Meera Joshi, currently leading the agency as deputy administrator, was questioned by U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., about what he considers a lack of oversight by FMCSA in addressing such crashes.

"I think it's clear that this entire industry fell into a regulatory black hole, where it escaped the level of scrutiny which it absolutely has to have if public safety is going to be protected," Markey told Joshi during testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee.

I honestly can't think of anything in the past couple decades that the ATA supported that I agreed with, except ISTEA & the FAST Act.

Maybe they should start looking at the behavior of POVs and start enforcing shit for a change.

Never going to happen. No politician will ever tell their constituents that they can't drive worth a flip. No matter what the evidence shows.

Hurr Durr, Evil big truck!

The agency’s own study shows that.

Well, this is going to be embarrassing when she figures out most CMV involved accidents are actually caused by cars.

I am assuming Meera goes by (she/her) No fucking idea what that is about but it is a thing now for some reason.

She doesn't care. The senators want her to promise to crack down on big ugly trucks, because that is what their voters want, so she is going to promise to do that.

Until a new administration comes in and replaces her

Rinse and Repeat.
