According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), over half a million holders of U.S commercial driver's licenses also qualify for full federal disability payments due to health issues. Some suffer from ailments ranging from vision and hearing impairments to seizure disorders. The situation underscores recent calls on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to bolster regulations governing the operation of commercial vehicles.
The FMCSA's primary mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. In carrying out this mandate, the FMCSA amongst other things, develops and enforces "data-driven&" regulations that balance motor carrier safety with industry efficiency.
Intelex offers a Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance module that was developed to enable operators of commercial vehicles to easily abide by FMCSA regulations. The module stores driver information, tracks driver qualifications, generates real-time status reports, and sends automated escalating email reminders, and more.
