Office of Motor Carriers: Shape of Things to Come
ORLANDO, Fla. — Trucking can expect minor structural changes in the Office of Motor Carrier Safety for at least another 11 months as it settles into its new home within the Secretary of Transportation’s office, the head of the agency told trucking officials.
Julie A. Cirillo, acting director of the reformulated agency, gave that assessment to the Truckload Carriers Association last week during a speech before its board of directors. In touching on several issues, she told the group that the restructuring of what likely will become the National Motor Carrier Administration, or a variation on that name, within the Department of Transportation would not start until next October at the earliest.
“Regardless of what the Senate does, the new administration won’t be fully operational until October 2000,” Cirillo said.
