Great news for LoadTrek.net customers - most of whom operate at a ratio of 2 drivers for every tractor. These carriers who highly utilize their fleet are at a disadvantage under the FMCSA's current crash-risk calculation.
We have argued that vehicle miles travelled is a better denominator than fleet size. The ATA has argued the same, and has taken the argument to the highest level within the FMCSA.
Anne Ferro confirmed that the FMCSA will use a blended formula of vehicle miles travelled, plus number of vehicles, and that the formula will be finalized and made public between December 2010 and February 2011.
