FMCSA’s Silence Is Deafening
While Drivers Are Getting Railroaded
While drivers are out here busting our backs to keep America moving, the FMCSA continues to bury its head in the sand. You’d think with rising highway deaths, a flood of undertrained visa holders, and drivers getting squeezed out by surveillance tech, the agency responsible for our safety might… speak up?
But no. Crickets.
Meanwhile, real American drivers are being fined, sidelined, and driven out over minor infractions — while large carriers skate by with immunity. We’ve got data breaches like the TxDOT CRIS hack, driverless trucks testing next to your kids’ school bus, and a driver base being replaced by outsourced labor.
And yet FMCSA keeps pumping out “listening sessions” and webinars while ignoring the voices that actually know the road.
The system isn’t broken. It’s rigged. And it’s time we call it what it is: negligence by leadership and willful silence in the face of corporate pressure.
It’s time the DOT and FMCSA start answering to drivers, not lobbyists.
