USDOT Agency Nixes Upgraded Rear Impact Guards
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) last month rejected that the agency mandate stricter upgrades to rear impact guards on semi-trailers.
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness month. ICSA members who get trained and certified by Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) by the end of January will receive a spiffy new ICSA hat and be entered into a drawing for a $500 gift card.
Go to ICSA’s website at www.safecarriers.org, click on the link in the TAT banner to go to ICSA’s page on the TAT website and take the 30-minute online training and quiz to get certified. When TAT notifies us that you are trained, we will send you your hat and enter you into the $500 drawing.
Human trafficking is everywhere truckers go – on the road, in truck stops and rest areas, in restaurants, even near delivery locations. While more than a million trucking personnel have taken the TAT training, we can’t have too many eyes out there looking for this modern-day slavery.
