FMCSA

FMCSA was established as a separate administration within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) on January 1, 2000, pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999. FMCSA is headquartered in Washington, DC and employs more than 1,000 people in all 50 States and the District of Columbia, all dedicated to improving the safety of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) and saving lives.

The primary mission of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is to reduce crashes, injuries, fatalities, and property loss involving large trucks and buses by regulating the workers involved.

Coastal Auto Transport’s ultimate goal is to understand exactly what you need and to get it done in an affordable, safe and efficient way.
