Trucking Authorities
Trucking Authorities & Permits
In the transportation industry, trucking authority is essentially permission granted by the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) to transport goods for profit. There are two types of authority that companies can apply for: contract and common. A contract authority is for carriers that haul freight only for firms that they have a contractual agreement with. A common authority is for carriers that hire themselves out to any company that wants to pay to have legal goods transported.

Safety Services
Safety Services are essential for companies involved in the trucking industry. The government mandates these services to ensure all truckers' safety and cargo safety.
The FMCSA monitors trucking companies and drivers for safety compliance. Its regulations are designed to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities. FMCSA safety standards require motor carriers to perform adequate inspections, repairs, and maintenance. Checked fluid levels, brakes, and engine health. These factors can significantly reduce the number of accidents on the road.
Safety compliance is a critical part of trucking's success. Poor scores can negatively impact customer relationships, increase inspection costs, and affect a company's marketability. However, with proper training and safety services, companies can increase their chances of maintaining an acceptable CSA score. Horton Safety Consultants can help by interpreting the safety data and implementing a meaningful action plan.
