The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is accepting applications for a new task force that will look into truck leasing agreements and whether predatory arrangements affect driver safety. The task force, created as part of the federal infrastructure law signed by President Joe Biden in November, was highlighted earlier this week by the White House as part of progress made on the administration’s Trucking Action Plan. The panel will include a maximum of 10 members representing commercial carriers, owner-operators, labor, consumer protection groups, law firms and businesses subject to trucking lease-purchase agreements.
