Upcoming Shows

Ep. 54 - Understanding MCSAP Funding

When:  Oct 23  |  2 pm ET

In this episode, we tackle the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) in the wake of FMCSA's October 15, 2025, announcement withholding over $40 million in funding from California for failing to enforce federal English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards for commercial drivers. Special guest Jack Van Steenburg, former FMCSA Chief Safety Officer and Assistant Administrator, joins us to break down what MCSAP is, how it funds state-level roadside inspections, safety audits, and enforcement efforts, and why California's non-compliance has led to this unprecedented action. We'll also discuss the broader implications for highway safety, trucking companies operating in California, and potential ripple effects on national driver qualification standards.
