Trucks and Safety Data

The FMCSA recently stated that only 8,851 trucking companies, out of the 650,000 active trucking companies in the US, have bothered to see the company safety data that is compiled on each company by the FMCSA. These figures were as as of May 21, 2010, according to FMCSA spokesman Duane DeBruyne. This is ironic considering 1 in 5 trucks are unsafe based on Roadcheck percentages and the industry's stated desire to be  "safe."
