TRUCK SAFETY: DISPOSITION OF ALLEGATIONS CONCERNING THREE SAFETY AUDITS

The fact sheet responds to a series of questions relating to the disposition of various allegations made to the Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety (BMCS) and the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Office of Inspector General (OIG). The allegations centered around three safety audits performed by BMCS at Paul's Trucking Corporation in January 1982, July 1982, and January 1984. Although violations were idenified in each audit, BMCS generally considered the violations to be isolated cases and took no enforcement action.
