FMCSA Puts Swift's Safety Case on Hold

Transport Topics, June, 2004 by Anonymous

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said June 15 it had stayed its safety-rating case against truckload carrier Swift Transportation Co. pending the outcome of a related case before the Department of Transportation, the Arizona Republic reported.

The DOT case involves a proposed fine Swift is facing for its drivers having allegedly falsified mileage logbooks, the Republic said. Swift has denied the allegations and asked an administrative law judge to dismiss the case.

The newspaper also said federal regulators recommended in an audit report last year that Swifts safety rating be downgraded to "conditional" from "satisfactory" because it was alleged to have a higher-than-normal accident rate and lax safety controls. - Transport Topics
