What are the expected benefits of CVISN for motor carriers?
Interactive systems will establish strong working relationships between motor carriers and states. Streamlined administrative processes will provide seamless movement between states for trucks and busses. For example a motor carrier could register its vehicles in its home state, and that information will be provided to surrounding states. The time saved by registering and applying for credentials electronically is another benefit to the motor carrier. Another time saver will be in electronic screening. The vehicle is screened at main line speeds, checking the credentials, safety information and weight, allowing the driver to proceed if everything is in good standing, without having to stop at the weigh station. Motor carriers will also be able to use accurate and timely data available through a safety information exchange to assess their performance and to determine where improvements are needed.
