FMCSA's New Entry Level Driver Training Rule

Being a trucking company in Los Angeles, we know that driving a truck takes a lot of practice and training.The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) wants to get thoughts and ideas on entry level driver training for commercial vehicles. Since the current highway bill passed a few months ago, the FMCSA needs to come up with entry-level driver training (ELDT) provisions by October of 2013.


“FMCSA will have to put in place a rule that will result not in drivers just trained to the CDL exam, but who are developed to be truly qualified to manage the real-world challenges faced when operating a truck out on the road." - David Heller of the Truckload Carriers Association

The FMCSA will hold a listening session January 7 for 9-11 and 2-4 in NC to gather ideas from the public on what ELDT rules should be in place. There will be a webcast as well as other opportunities online to give your opinion. Visit www.fmcsa.dot.gov for more information.

L.A. Auto Show: Going Green

A better fuel economy is a reoccurring theme at the L.A. Auto Show this year. This is good news for messengers in Los Angeles. The different car manufacturers, including the luxury brands, are all showcasing their new ideas and innovations to go green and get you the best mileage. 

Here are some of the cars unveiled so far in the "green" category:




1. Ford Fusion - Green Car of the Year
The newly designed 2013 model offers 3 fuel efficient options: gas, hybrid and plug-in Energi.



2. Toyota Prius c
The Toyota Prius still dominates the hybrid market. They rolled out a smaller model, The Prius c, which gets an estimated 53 mpg, the highest of any non-electric vehicle on the market. It is also equipped with many tech-savvy features making it America's favorite hybrid.


3. BMW i3 Concept
This is a high-end electric car. It's projected range is about 100 miles. BMW offers home charging stations, apps that locate public charging stations and other forms of public transportation such as a new car-sharing service.



"The models getting attention in L.A. are diverse in price and style. They reflect the demands of consumers who spend an inordinate amount of time on the road and want better fuel efficiency without compromising performance, seamless digital connectivity and at least the promise of a car that runs on electricity and is fun to drive." 
- Joseph White of the Wall Street Journal

The L.A. Auto show is open now through December 19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
