FMCSA/PHMSA Cargo Tank Driver Rollover Prevention Training

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) today introduced a new training video that will help make the highways safer for cargo tank drivers and motorists alike.
"Cargo tank rollovers are among the most serious types of large truck crashes, often resulting in fatalities and serious highway infrastructure damage," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Yet rollovers can be prevented and driver safety is the key. This video is a tool to encourage tank drivers to become more safety-conscious."
The video provides cargo tank drivers with best practices and safety tips on how to avoid rollover crashes while transporting hazardous materials. Developed in partnership with the Department's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the National Tank Truck Carriers, the "Cargo Tank Driver Rollover Prevention Video" uses driver interviews and on-road scenarios to highlight the factors that contribute to rollovers.
"Preventing cargo tank rollovers is a priority for our agency," said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro. "We are pleased to introduce this new training video that helps cargo tank drivers and carriers avoid dangerous situations that cause rollovers and place our highways at risk."
"Tank truck rollovers are considerably more dangerous when they involve hazardous materials," said PHMSA Administrator Cynthia Quarterman. "Improved cargo tank truck driver safety will also benefit the general public that shares the highways."
Cargo tank rollovers account for 31 percent of large truck rollover crashes. In 75 percent of those crashes, unsafe driver behaviors such as inattention or excessive speeding are the primary cause.
In the training video, a variety of camera angles, detailed graphics and driver interviews focus on the four areas that affect the potential for a rollover: vehicle design, cargo load, highway factors and driver safety. However, the video's main focus is on driver behavior because in many ways, a safe journey depends on the driver.

Good video for Rollover Incident prevention, I like the part it identifies Drivers, as the most important factor to look out for. But the video did not identify pressure from logistic managers in the transportation companies.

Everything makes sense

Partial load is more dangerous got more space for the liquid to travel thus creating more surges

In trucking the saying what you dont know can kill you is seriously true. You can turn a truck over going at 5 mph. Same goes with a car at about 10mph

The only reason I’m watching this is for ETS2. I’m still gonna floor it and destroy signs but this might help.

Man.... Road train drivers are legends

[@0TDIedits0]

Why a lot of accident in that kind of problems, where there is a technology that can help for that problems. It's because all accidents are totally the speed control of the driver where they usually got mistakes during the travel wherr the road are not usually the driver know the road route where the curve descend and up. If all the vehicles are controlled by our technology where the technology control the speed of the vehicle in order to have a safe journey. The design is just a second problem and load capacity. If your route are already planned by technology it will never got a mistake because we are already plannedplanned where the speed is being imposed during your journey.
