The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration is accepting public
comment through October on its
planned study to analyze the safety
consequences of the method in which
drivers are paid, but not necessarily
the amount.
"Should the study show that there
is a relationship between the methods
drivers are paid and the methods' effect
on safe driving performance, a
potential benefit of the study
will … help [carriers] make
more informed decisions about
safe operations," according to a
Federal Register notice published
in late August.
The agency randomly will
select participating carriers
that will be notified with a
letter. An email that contains a
link to an online survey will be
sent to the participants.
To comment, go to
www.regulations.gov and
search Docket No. FMCSA-
2014-0325. The results will be
released next year, the agency
said.
