Fleets Need Better Monitoring According To New Indiana Laws

Its a long and hard way perishable goods have to travel until being displayed on

a store shelf and its not getting any easier as laws nowadays impose more and more strict regulations. Of course, it is a natural thing to do considering the risks people are exposed to if food safety measures are not followed.

This time commercials vehicles are the one being targeted. A recently approved Indiana law now empowers Indiana State Police to inspect commercial vehicles transporting food products to make sure loads comply with current health regulations. Vehicles that contain loads suspected to be violating the food safety regulations can now be detained in order to determine compliance with applicable food safety rules. In addition, health inspectors could order the disposal of certain food and the impoundment of vehicles that are not compliant. Offenders that are found to be transporting not trusted loads could face $10,000 fines. Hauling foods ordered to be disposed could mean spending $5000 in fines.

Rep. Bill Davis, R-Portland, declared the new law aims to obtain assurance that transporters are complying with food safety rules. Food is transported with commercial vehicles on a daily basis and considering that there is no efficient process in place for monitoring the food while moving, safety rules are necessary to keep food uncontaminated, Davis also mentioned.

Local road works are the subject of another recent Indiana law. From July 1, 2012, counties are authorized to spend property tax revenue to maintain county highways. Up until that moment, Indiana law mandated property taxes to be used for county highway maintenance only in case of an emergency.

Rep. Jeff Espich, R-Uniondale said that county officials will benefit of more flexibility when spending revenue from their general fund for road maintenance when needed. The new law allows counties to use property tax or other miscellaneous general fund revenue on highway maintenance.

Be sure that your business profits stay up by implementing a modern in transit real time monitoring system that will allow you to know at any time if your perishable loads are compliant with the safety norms and will not face the risk to be rejected at destination or worse, thrown out by health inspectors.
