INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF FMCSA'S HOS PROPOSAL SHOWS THE USE OF WRONG DATA
This is a very, interesting and telling article. The basic summary is this independent review found, that the FMCSA overstated the net benifits of the proposed rules by $700 million dolalrs anually, They also found that
"• FMCSA made unreasonable assumptions about the safety of the trucking industry by sampling only carriers it subjected to a compliance review, generally for not following federal safety rules; and
• In formulating its proposal, FMCSA used crash data collected before the current rules went into effect, completely ignoring their positive safety impact on the industry.
