James Lamb : So how is my upcoming meeting going to go with ?

The UCR System is illegal. Your release of PII data, including truckers' social security numbers, which the UCR System Plan published on their website in 2019, to them is illegal and therefore beyond "routine use." We asked you to make the UCR System legal through the rulemaking required by Congress under the UCR Act. You refused. So we sued you.

We have asked you to decertify CA and NY CDL issuing authority because the law requires you do so whenever you make a final determination of substantial non-compliance with 49 USC Chapter 313. You issued such notices to both states. After the VA bus 5 person fatality last week, now I guess we will have to sue you, in addition to these two states.

The agency has engaged in unreasonable delays on our May 2020 petition for freight broker rate transparency in violation of the APA (5 USC 555). Your promise to issue a second NPRM in May of 2026 was reneged upon. Now I guess we will have to sue you.

Your agency is supposed to respond to FOIA requests within 20 days. I filed a FOIA/Privacy Act request in November of 2016 designed to obtain information about an illegal investigation FMCSA conducted on my private business without statutory authority in malicious retaliation for two lawsuits I filed against FMCSA on behalf of industry. My FOIA request is the oldest open FOIA request according to the office of Secretary Sean Duffy. It is approaching 10 years that the agency has withheld records that would show it made false claims against me in conspiracy and collusion with the states & UCR Plan System Board members, which includes establishment trade associations. I guess I will have to sue you.

Did I get that right ?

Are you seeing a pattern of corruption, obstruction, and negligence here ? Do you even care?

You and didn't care when we implored you to stop daily data breaches by a permitting service apparently engaged in criminal instrusion through corrupt FMCSA or LEO real-time data access. Instead, you issued a false audit report on FMCSA system vulnerabilities. So we went to the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation and media in 2021...

How is that intrusion investigation & prosecution going U.S. Department of Transportation ?

We are the SBTC. We do things. Usually, proactively... before something happens... like this latest Virginia bus crash, which killed five people, including two children. Bus driver had a NY CDL but can't speak English.

This is more blood on the hands of & .

We asked through this petition a year ago https://www.change.org/p/enact-connor-s-law/u/33564818 to DECERTIFY the CDL authority of NY and CA et al to prevent fatal crashes like this right after we drafted . He now has a DUTY to decertify both NY & CA under Federal decertification law because has found both states to be in substantial non-compliance with 49 USC Chaper 313. Note the word "shall" in the statute makes decertification a duty and not discretionary.

American citizens concerned about highway safety need to step up and back us up. Please write directly to [email protected] and [email protected] and demand decertification of these woke states that are violating Federal Law and cc: [email protected].

We have asked & to conduct RICO investigations into these and other states. There are also two sealed lawsuits in progress as of tomorrow awaiting intervention by .

The government needs to stop worrying about what Big Trucking thinks about shutting down these official rogue state CDL mills and immediately act on behalf of puic safety.

We have brought the horse to water, but we can't make it drink. Perhaps, together, American citizens can.
