“FMCSA believes in listening to our drivers and hearing their concerns directly. We know that many of the solutions to the challenges we face don’t come from Washington—they come from the hard-working men and women who are behind the wheel all over our nation,” said FMCSA Deputy Administrator Wiley Deck. “This new subcommittee to MCSAC will further help us hear from America’s commercial drivers.”
