New tools would help stop unsafe truck companies from hiding their bad records.
This bill would create new ways to find and stop "chameleon carriers." These are unsafe trucking companies that try to hide their bad safety records by changing their names. It would lead to a study on these carriers and develop a new computer tool to spot them when they apply for permits, making roads safer for everyone.
Today, the Department of Transportation uses existing methods to try and catch "chameleon carriers," but these have known shortcomings. This bill would create a new study to better understand the problem and develop an advanced computer tool to specifically identify these companies during their permit applications. It would also establish an appeals process for those wrongly flagged, allowing them to correct their information and get a timely review.
