The FMCSA has made a positive step forward with the current database system that is currently in use. The flaw with the system lay in the area of up-to-date details, with some areas being completely out of date by the end of the year. This makes the tracking of information difficult if you need to follow a particular case.
The update now allows companies whose violations have expired or dismissed to have information completely removed from the system or notes added. Adding any information gathered during the course of the year to the system safeguards companies, as well as consumers, as to the potential of any problems.
Not being able to add violations occurring during the course of the year made the system quickly out of date. This can cause complications to the process of making sure all members are following the guidelines set out by the FMCSA. These are there to ensure quality of services to the consumers and to protect the staff working for a company. Each company is responsible to ensure they are meeting all legal practices and requirements.
If a citation is given, the outcome of this process needs recording, allowing companies the opportunity to improve or challenge the citation. Yet this information is vital in improving of companies involved in the FMSCA, it provides key information as to the performances and any action that can lead to improvement of companies for the benefit of consumers, not having this information has meant problems, this is now resolved with the updated software.
It is important that any database is up to date in a way that allows you to have the correct information. Data, which quickly becomes out of date helps no one and can become a hindrance. Ensuring that managing any disputes that occur from citations is in line with the conditions of the AMSA, allowing challenges for the citation from the driver and the company as to the outcome, with details of the citation and the appeal and outcome, for prosperity.
