This hinders FMCSA&#8217;s ability to fully assess and mitigate carrier safety risks, which increases the risk of unsafe carriers operating on the Nation&#8217;s roadways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study says that FMCSA has 18 months from the time it gives a carrier a temporary operating license to check the carrier&#8217;s activities in Mexico for compliance. The IG found that of the 83 Mexican carriers that had been given a long-haul working license as of January 1, 64% had not been checked for compliance within the 18-month time limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compliance_Reviews_of_Cross-Border_Carriers_Delayed\"><\/span><strong>Compliance Reviews of Cross-Border Carriers Delayed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of those, 38 had been working with only temporary permission for an average of over 40 months, and the oldest had been doing so for almost seven years, without ever being checked for compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the IG&#8217;s report, it was stated that FMCSA had not conducted a compliance review of a cross-border carrier since January 2020. The Agency possesses a sufficient tracking system for determining the timing of carriers&#8217; compliance reviews. An FMCSA official stated that the Agency did not meet the timeliness requirement due to reasons such as the COVID-19 pandemic and carriers lack of sufficient roadside inspection data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mexican_Carriers_Have_Good_Safety_Record_Compared_to_US_Carriers\"><\/span><strong>Mexican Carriers Have Good Safety Record Compared to U.S. Carriers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study said that the FMCSA found that the safety record of Mexican carriers &#8220;is as good as or better than that of U.S. carriers,&#8221; which eased some of the worries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fiscal year 2022, the rate of vehicles out of service for long-haul carriers in Mexico was less than 15%, while the rate for U.S. carriers was more than 22%. The IG said that this was true. In FY22, less than 1% of Mexican companies&#8217; drivers were out of service, while more than 7% of American companies&#8217; drivers were out of service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IG_Recommends_Improvements_to_FMCSAs_Regulation_of_Mexican_Long-Haul_Trucking_Businesses\"><\/span><strong>IG Recommends Improvements to FMCSA\u2019s Regulation of Mexican Long-Haul Trucking Businesses<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The IG didn&#8217;t like how the FMCSA regulated long-haul trucking businesses in Mexico and gave three ideas to the head of the agency.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Change FMCSA&#8217;s policy so that it says why compliance checks can&#8217;t be done for more than 18 months. If a review is delayed, it is important to figure out how long a carrier should be able to keep running under temporary authorization without a compliance review. It is also important to write down the decision to delay a review.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check to see if the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations need to be changed to fit the new review guidelines for compliance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a plan for how to schedule evaluations of compliance for future temporary carriers and a plan for how to finish reviews for those who have been operating for more than 18 months without full authorization.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FMCSA_Administrator_Agrees_to_Improve_Oversight_of_Mexican_Carriers\"><\/span><strong>FMCSA Administrator Agrees to Improve Oversight of Mexican Carriers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Administrator of the FMCSA, Robin Hutcheson, agreed that the agency had already tried to improve control and that the ideas were good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These steps include changing the way compliance checks are given. &#8220;to give more time between the assigned date and the end of the 18-month period,&#8221; Hutcheson wrote, &#8220;to prevent people from being late because of scheduling conflicts and other problems.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Lading_Logistics_for_comprehensive_logistics_solutions\"><\/span><strong>Contact Lading Logistics for comprehensive logistics solutions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, increased oversight and regulation could improve safety and reduce the risk of accidents involving Mexican-based trucking companies.
