Proposed Amendment, To uphold Section 5706 (Dedicated Vehicles) of the Sanitary Food Transportation law.

To:  U.S. Congress

All trailers have to be inspected once a year and have an inspection sticker affixed on them to prove it has been inspected. To uphold Section 5706 (Dedicated Vehicles) of the Sanitary Food
Transportation law, an amendment could be written that states, "When a trailer is inspected and is going to haul food or food products and/or food packaging, that trailer should have a letter F on the inspection sticker that is affixed to that trailer." The rest of the system is already in place. We have D.O.T. inspection stations all over the United States. When a truck is pulled into these inspection stations it is weighed, then the inspectors checks the manifest for the load that it is hauling and inspects the vehicle. It would be an advantage to all concerned that while the truck is being inspected that the inspector checks the sticker and the freight for a match.

When an inspector looks at the driver’s manifest and then checks the inspection sticker, if there is an F on the inspection sticker and there are chemicals in the trailer or other toxic substances the trailer would be impounded and the inspection sticker stripped from the trailer. This would catch these companies in the act before people are contaminated. Both food and trucking companies should be heavily fined.

Should you or your loved ones have to become victims before the blatant disrespect for these laws come to a halt?

Please help persuade Congress to do the right thing and protect our food by adding this amendment to the current Sanitary Food Transportation laws.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
