Congressman Connolly remarks on postal service truck contractor safety bill
Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly says in floor debate on a bill to direct the United States Postal Service to issue regulations requiring Postal Service employees and contractors to report to the Postal Service traffic crashes involving vehicles carrying mail that result in injury or death that at least 79 people were killed in crashes involving trucks contracted by the Postal Service between 2020 and 2023, with the true number likely higher due to unreported serious crashes, raising serious safety oversight questions about the USPS allegedly managing trucking operations that don't adhere to legal safety standards by setting unrealistic delivery schedules forcing drivers to violate hours limits and selecting carriers with violation records.
