Sept. 28, 2006 – OOIDA Senior Member Danny Schnautz of Pasadena, TX, delivered his message and plenty more to the members of the U.S. House Committee on Small Business Wednesday. The meeting focused on security and commerce at the nation’s ports.
Schnautz wasted few words in pointing out problems with the current background check program. A recent policy change allows foreign drivers hauling hazmat into the United States to only have the cheaper FAST – Free and Secure Trade – background check, while U.S. drivers must undergo a more expensive Transportation Security Administration background check.
