Nearly a fourth of the car-
riers investigated during an
enforcement blitz received
proposed Unsatisfactory
Safety Ratings.
The Commercial Vehicle
Safety Alliance last month
released results of its annual
Operation Safe Driver
campaign, held Oct. 19-25
and aimed at improving
driver behavior in or around
commercial vehicles.
Law enforcement conduct-
ed 193 compliance investiga-
tions during 2014's campaign
by using Compliance, Safety,
Accountability data to target
carriers.
Of the carriers investigat-
ed, 23 percent received pro-
Safety blitz results in more actions against carriers
posed Unsatisfactory Safety Ratings,
versus 15 percent for the full 2014 fi s-
cal year. Another 53 percent received
proposed Conditional Safety Ratings,
compared to 28 percent for FY 2014.
Forty-six percent of investigations
resulted in enforcement actions, in
contrast to 33 percent for FY 2014.
