FMCSA Cargo Tank Rollover Prevention

On August 3, 2010, the FMCSA released a Cargo Tank Driver Rollover Prevention Video that focuses on areas that cause rollover of cargo tanks. According to the FMCSA, "cargo tank rollovers account for 31 percent of large truck rollover crashes. In 75 percent of those crashes, unsafe driver behaviors such as inattention or excessive speeding are the primary cause." The video release coupled with the CSA 2010 initiative shows how the FMCSA is making safety its top priority.  The safety educational video can be viewed or downloaded at http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/outreach/cargo-tank-video.aspx.
