The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has started the second phase of its security sensitivity visits (SSV), which are face-to-face meetings between the agency or state investigators and top carrier officials to assess security vulnerabilities and countermeasures that can lead to improved security.

Last year, the agency conducted more than 36,000 SSVs with motor carriers that transport hazardous materials.
