Discussion: |
Peerless (Price) port construction update: Port will operate on both sides of the road on Hwy 6, MP 238. Building plans finalized next week. Road work will be completed Oct 2020. $14 million total project cost, $12 million of that for roads/grounds Monticello POE - A 360 Smart View addition on Hwy 191 NB & SB in Monticello to bypass eligible vehicles from having to come down US 491 two miles to the port if they don’t need to be seen. Fatalities – 21 CMV related fatalities so far for the year. In 2018 there were 38, and in 2017, 39. Motor Carrier On-line System or MCOLS – have added a shopping cart in to the system so carriers purchasing permits do not have to pay in advance and then have their permit denied for routing, etc. This has drastically reduced our refunds. If you have suggestions, let us know. Ryan Jones suggested a way to replicate permits. Thanks to all our partnerships – we all have different roles, but we all work together well. We don’t know what we don’t know, so let us know how we can better serve you. Paperless Inspections – Paperless is wave of the future – we are testing this at Perry currently. Should be ready next month. |

Discussion: |
Please reach out to us with any questions and concerns. Lt. Spillman ran a special enforcement 2 weeks ago in Garden City, where three recent CMV crashes occurred. 47 inspections, 32 were Level I’s, 3 Level II’s, 11 Level III’s, 1 Level IV’s. This resulted in 14 out-of-service orders and 112 violations, 40 were brake issues. Truck traffic is down a third as a result. Last crash was a dump truck, loaded at 10,000 lbs. over. Working to have reduction in driver error crashes. Top Hands – Thanks to the industry for assistance. Trooper Brad Johnson qualified to go to NAIC – he brought back lots of knowledge. Safety overall is better this year. |
