Comments suggest reconsideration to avoid unfair targeting of drivers and carriers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FMCSA&#8217;s DataQs system accepts Requests for Data Review (RDRs) for analyzing truck driver preventability in 16 collision categories since May 2020. FMCSA revised Crash Preventability Determination Program (CPDP) categories to identify unpreventable incidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commenters support FMCSA&#8217;s proposed modifications two months after the notice in April. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and others are concerned about FMCSA&#8217;s efforts to protect truckers&#8217; safety records.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Todd Spencer, the President of OOIDA, stated that the system forces drivers\/carriers to take on additional roles such as crash investigators, evidence collectors, and document uploaders to get a crash overturned based on the evidence, which takes them away from their professional trucking duties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spencer also said that the current wait time for a decision from FMCSA on an accident review submission is more than 90 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/truckers-slam-fmcsa-for-crash-bias-presuming-drivers-guilty\/#Impact_of_Non-Preventable_Crashes_on_Motor_Carriers_and_Their_CSA_Scores\" >Impact of Non-Preventable Crashes on Motor Carriers and Their CSA Scores<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/truckers-slam-fmcsa-for-crash-bias-presuming-drivers-guilty\/#Werner_Proposal_to_Allow_Video_Evidence_Without_Police_Reports\" >Werner: Proposal to Allow Video Evidence Without Police Reports<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/blog\/truckers-slam-fmcsa-for-crash-bias-presuming-drivers-guilty\/#Final_Wording\" >Final Wording<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_of_Non-Preventable_Crashes_on_Motor_Carriers_and_Their_CSA_Scores\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Impact of Non-Preventable Crashes on Motor Carriers and Their CSA Scores<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A non-preventable crash on a small motor carrier&#8217;s safety record for 90 days or more can be crippling and potentially shut down an otherwise safe carrier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Transferring the burden to the agency to determine crash preventability is believed to help keep safe, experienced motor carriers in business and reduce the current backlog of CPDP submissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The implementation of the CPDP ensures that motor carriers should not have to submit documentation and wait for months to remove non-preventable crashes from their record.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bryan Griffith, a lawyer representing Sanborn, Brandon, Duvall, and Bobbitt law firm, believes that FMCSA is imposing excessive demands on truckers and treating carriers as if they are at fault until proven otherwise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When a state agency reports a crash, safety points for that crash are added to the motor carrier&#8217;s CSA scores within a month. The basic constitutional right to be innocent until proven guilty is being contradicted, and the burden of this &#8216;conviction&#8217; remains for two full years without the FMCSA requiring proof, evidence, or a hearing from the motor carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Griffith suggests deleting CSA points for crash review requests until the incident response is finalized. He stated that removing the unfair burden on motor carriers from crashes caused by third parties would be beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Werner_Proposal_to_Allow_Video_Evidence_Without_Police_Reports\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Werner: Proposal to Allow Video Evidence Without Police Reports<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FMCSA intends to classify four more commercial motor vehicle (CMV) accidents as non-preventable:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another car going in the same direction crashed into it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hit an automobile moving out of a driveway or parking lot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hit a vehicle when the driver ahead lost control.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Been in an accident where a video might be used to explain what happened.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Werner Enterprises has said that it agrees with the new accident classifications, especially those that can be proven with video proof.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company stated that FMCSA should consider accepting video footage directly from carriers as a source of accurate events leading up to an accident without requiring the police report, which can take months to receive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The timely clearance of the not-at-fault driver and removal of a crash from the Safety Measurement System could be facilitated by this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Wording\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Final Wording<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The trucking industry has said that the FMCSA&#8217;s process for reporting accidents is unfair because it puts the onus of proving innocence on drivers and companies.
