Unregistered Carriers on 9/24/2009 - 1983
I'll tell you how crazy it's getting in Illinois. So far this week, we have registered about 200 UCR carriers and, as you can see, we are going a little backwards in our unregistered total. Plus, as you can see, I have to write my blog at some insane hour of the morning! Why is this happening? Because we have also been issuing DOT numbers in droves and getting people signed up with FMCSA at a clip of about 60-70 per day! It appears that we are getting a lot of farmers (again, formerly exempt) because it's harvest time ... and the cops have written a few tickets ... and people are calling or coming in and saying "We need to get in compliance!".
Folks, that's exactly what UCR is supposed to be doing! I can't say it enough times - we are identifying THOUSANDS of interstate commercial vehicle operators that were never identified or recognized by FMCSA prior to UCR.
Motor carrier safety is not just abot crawling around under trucks --- although that's also vitally important! Let's face it - we inspect some tiny fraction of all the trucks that are operating through our states. That's not an opinion - that's a fact! We also need to know who's out there....and that's exactly what UCR is doing.
