FMCSA’s Elison addresses Motus again, still no date on full repair

Chattanooga–It hasn’t been that long–less than a month–since Jesse Elison spoke to an industry event and addressed the issue of the beleaguered new Motus registration system.

The deputy administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) spoke Monday at FreightWaves’ Broker Compliance Symposium, one of two one-day sessions that serve as a prelude to the larger Future of Freight Festival here that begins Tuesday

The biggest news in his presentation was really no news: after saying at the National Motor Freight Traffic Association in early October that FMCSA was “weeks away” from fixing the issues with the rollout of the agency’s new registration system, Elison offered no new indication that a resolution was at hand.

“But that measuring stick, it has worked,” Elison said about the blocked path for unqualified registrants. “But we need to be a little better than that. There are companies out there that want to operate. They want to build this trust.”
