A recent follow up Letter to PennDOT regarding some transportation safety concerns


Thank you M.,

As I relayed earlier, I'm primarily curious for now about how transportation businesses in general handle their red-flag info gleaned from the newfangled data recorders. Having myself, a strong background driving trucks, taxis and limos, I can understand how complicated and hectic managing ever-mobile vehicles, while trying to juggle noisy dispatching calls often becomes. And this bustling busyness is a likely contributor of why red-flagged reckless driving is suspected of being overlooked. Who has time for that, if they're always short-staffed, as one driver with five years experience told me they always are?


I wonder if transportation companies and business's even budget one hour per month to check in or follow up on this sort of safety concern? If not, or rather, if so; then perhaps the season now is ripe for some of them to re-prioritize their allotted time for specific safety area focuses like this / these. 


Some places already have safety-prevention managers who are responsible for overseeing these crucial areas. I imagine that you M., and / or your PennDOT work-colleagues know of some of these people. Safety managers who are located, may have some of these same concerns. I encourage you to see if these experts already have broad ideas to expound upon and solutions to suggest, in what ways would be most viable to investigate and improve Commercial reckless-driving accountability.

Thank you,
& Best regards
JB
