The Roadcheck is both standard and unusual this time around. Standard, in that the FMCSA has conducted its special safety check each year since 1988. Unusual in that there may be a notable—though temporary—drop in the number of available carriers.
Both as a human interest story of people acting as good Samaritans and from our position as participants in the logistics industry, this peaceful resolution makes us proud.
Today, we’re experiencing not so much a manufacturer-consumer supply-and-demand situation; rather, it’s a reduced number of available drivers to get inventory from point A to point B. Carriers are busy these days.
