WRECKLESS‼️ The boss of the second largest teachers’ union in the country, Randi Weingarten, came after our kids’ education by keeping schools closed during the Covid pandemic… and now wants to protect illegal truckers over the safety of kids! @FMCSA Administrator Barrs reacts to Weingarten’s move to block us from getting info on commercial driver’s license holders on @Newsmax👇

FMCSA helped kick off the @CVSA Annual Convention and Expo today in Orlando, bringing together commercial motor vehicle safety leaders from across North America. Keeping our roadways safe takes all of us, especially strong partnerships among federal, state, and local agencies, law enforcement, the motor carrier industry, and other safety stakeholders. Events like this create an important forum to share expertise, align priorities, and develop coordinated, strategic approaches to the CMV safety challenges we face across North America. We’re grateful to our law enforcement partners and all those working every day to make our roads safer for everyone. #RoadwaySafety #CMVSafety #CVSA #FHP

Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives on this day 25 years ago. September 11, 2001 is a day we must never forget. Today we remember their sacrifices. We also honor the courage of the first responders, transportation workers, and all of those who answered the call of duty that day to serve the country. Their bravery will never be forgotten. They are the patriots who make America the greatest country in the world.

We’re working to meet the demand for truck drivers in North Dakota and calling on the administration to empower programs like TrainND and at @ndscswildcats to meet the demand for qualified CDL operators, as well as advance federal rules that work for our state’s economy. We appreciate @FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs for coming to North Dakota to hear directly from transportation, agriculture, and workforce leaders on these issues.
