Oral arguments set for CSA suit

The suit brought by the Alliance for Safe and Efficient Truck Transportation (ASECTT), filed last year in federal district court in Washington, D.C., will see first oral arguments made Sept. 10, said Panther Expedited Service’s Government/CSA Qualification Coordinator Irwin Shires. Speaking at the Expedite Expo, Shires described the suit as alleging FMCSA has “abdicated its responsibility” to make safety judgments about interstate carriers by encouraging shippers and brokers to utilize the Compliance Safety Accountability Safety Measurement System’s metrics in business decisions.
