“In recent years, we’ve seen chameleon carriers become a major issue on Indiana’s roads, putting Hoosiers at risk and punishing law-abiding truckers,” Sen. Young said. “When unsafe trucking companies evade enforcement by reopening under a new identity, everyone who shares the road with them is put at greater risk.” “Our bill will help federal regulators to identify these fraudulent operators before they hit the road, strengthening highway safety and potentially saving lives,” said Sen. Young. The bill would require the Government Accountability Office to study the prevalence of chameleon carriers, the crashes and fatalities associated with them, and provide recommendations for strengthening enforcement. It also would direct FMCSA to develop, test, and implement an advanced automated tool that identifies applications exhibiting characteristics commonly associated with chameleon carriers, while ensuring final decisions remain with agency personnel.
