0 Comments

 
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has announced that its Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee and Medical Review Board will  meet jointly on Sept. 21-22 in Arlington, Vir., to discuss setting up a new “driver wellness initiative” as well as other ways to foster the health and wellness of commercial-vehicle drivers.

FMCSA characterized the initiative as “a non-regulatory public-private partnership of stakeholders to improve drivers' health” and said that its “structure, content, delivery, and evaluation” will be discussed by the members of MRB and MCSAC.
