Book Description
To reduce the number of crashes involving commercial motor carriers, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Admin. (FMCSA) orders unsafe carriers out of service. To help keep these carriers off the road, FMCSA's voluntary Performance and Registration Info. Systems Management (PRISM) grant program helps states establish info. systems connections between state vehicle registration and FMCSA's safety databases. These connections provide states with up-to-date info. on carriers' safety status when carriers try to register or renew registrations with the state. This report examined: (1) PRISM's effectiveness; and (2) the potential to fully implement the program nationally. Charts and tables.
Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health, and Highway Safety

Book Description
There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty, and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better understanding in both areas.

Book Description
In 2008, the Fed. Motor Carrier Safety Admin. (FMCSA) reports that there were about 300 fatalities from bus crashes in the U.S. Although bus crashes are relatively rare, they are particularly deadly since many individuals may be involved. FMCSA tries to identify unsafe motor coach carriers and take them off the road. This report determines: (1) the number of motor coach carriers registered with FMCSA as new entrants in FY 2007 and 2008 that are substantially related to or in essence the same carriers the agency previously ordered out of service; and (2) what tools FMCSA uses to identify reincarnated carriers. The report analyzed FMCSA data to find matches on key fields (e.g., ownership, phone numbers, etc.). Charts and tables.

Book Description
The interstate commercial motor carrier industry moves thousands of truckloads of goods every day, and any disruption in one truckloads delivery schedule can have a ripple effect on others. Some waiting time at shipping and receiving facilitiescommonly referred to as detention timeis to be expected in this complex environment. However, excessive detention time could impact the ability of drivers to perform within federal hours of service safety regulations, which limit duty hours and are enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).This report discusses: (1) How regularly do truck drivers experience detention time and what factors contribute to detention time (2) How does detention time affect the commercial freight vehicle industry (3) What federal actions, if any, could be taken to address detention time issues GAO analyzed federal and industry studies and interviewed a nongeneralizable sample of truck drivers, as well as other industry stakeholders and FMCSA officials.
