Rose McMurray, just retired as DOT’s motor carrier safety chief, joins FDRsafety

I am pleased to announce that Rose McMurray, who retired in January as Chief Safety Officer of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, has joined FDRsafety.

Rose, who is one of the most distinguished figures in the world of transportation safety, will have the title of Chief Transportation Advisor and will, together with me, lead our Transportation Safety Division.

The regulatory environment for motor carriers is in the midst of big changes as a result of a program that Rose implemented – CSA 2010. This program is changing the way the safety performance of motor carriers is measured. Those measurements will in turn guide enforcement priorities for the Department of Transportation, a matter of considerable concern for carriers.

Rose will advise FDRsafety clients on how to insure that they have good ratings on the new system. She will also be contributing to our Workplace Safety blog.

We are very excited to have Rose on our team and invite you to read her first blog post, which follows.
