  • 2021-00797 — Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 4174
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) decided to allow three drivers to bypass a vision requirement for interstate commercial driving. These drivers have vision limitations in one eye due to issues like amblyopia and cataracts; however, they have demonstrated safe driving abilities despite these limitations. Each exemption will last for two years, and conditions include annual medical exams to ensure continued qualification. The three drivers benefiting from this exemption are Terence L. Broadwater, Shannon L. Cagle, and Frank L. Crenshaw.

    Simple Explanation

    The FMCSA is letting three people drive big trucks even though they have trouble seeing out of one eye because they have been safe drivers and will get check-ups every year.

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is planning to update its National Consumer Complaint Database (NCCDB), which allows consumers, drivers, and others to file complaints against unsafe companies and employees.

Public comments on these updates are encouraged and must be submitted by March 4, 2025. The updates will help ensure consumer protection and promote safer practices in the motor carrier industry.

    Simple Explanation

    The FMCSA wants to make a special online system better so that people, like drivers and others, can easily tell them if a company is doing something unsafe or not nice. They're asking people to share their thoughts on these changes by March 4, 2025.
