The report that the DOT issued was based on the inspector generals draft. We were able to confirmthey were able to confirm they felt they had complied with the concerns raised by the inspector general. Specifically. on the inspection of every truck. every time. the IG said that as of July. the DOT didnt have a plan in place with DHS to make sure Customs and Border Protection checked all the trucks. Since that time. however. DOT has executed agreements with Customs and Border Protection so every truck. every time is checked. That is departmental policy. rather than a statutory requirement. but that is what is being done. The third item: It was alleged that DOT does not have independent access to accident. drivers license. and other data if it is not voluntarily provided by the motor carrier.
