HCR Subcontractor Safety Records

A Web site of the Department of Transportation (DOT) that provides safety information on trucking companies may be a valuable tool for members of the MVS Craft.

The site lists information about accidents and tickets incurred by trucking companies — including Highway Contract Route subcontractors.

We believe MVS employees can use the high number of accidents and tickets incurred by any HCR subcontractor to show why it is not in the public interest for the Postal Service to continue to utilize their services.  The DOT site gives a wealth of information by U.S. DOT number and by company name, even if the searcher has only a few letters of the company name. 

Thanks to William Wright, MVS director for the Indianapolis Area Local, who brought the site to our attention.
