The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association fought for truck drivers’ rights to due process during the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Ombudsman’s Regulatory Fairness hearing on Aug. 19 in Washington, D.C.
Jay Grimes, OOIDA’s director of federal affairs, spoke on behalf of the Association at the hearing. His comments centered around DataQ, which is a process that allows motor carriers, truck drivers and others to request a review of FMCSA-issued data, such as violations and inspection reports.
Grimes said that it’s often for that information to be incomplete or incorrect.
“Roughly 45,000 DataQs are filed annually, with about 65% of them resulting in a correction or reversal,” Grimes said. “However, in many cases, the DataQ review process is not objective. A determination is made by the same person or agency who issued the violation, which creates an inherent conflict.
