Anne Ferro, President Obama's choice to head the FMCSA, is going through confirmation hearings. While she will likely be confirmed, some believe she will continue policies of the previous administration.
The hearing included several minutes of intense questioning of Ferro concerning Hours of Service and electronic on-board recorders by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D.-N.J.Lautenberg asked Ferro to list her top three priorities should she be confirmed.
She listed them as:
• Working within the FMCSA to identify best practices to tackle the issue of driver fatigue.
• Placing a top priority on examining the impact of the current HOS rule and identify areas where gains could be made to advance safety.
• Examining the EOBR issue with the express intent of how the tool can be used to, among other things, help officers with roadside enforcement of HOS.
