  • HOW to FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This Document Contains the File Names Followed by Motor Vehicle Manufacturer's Name Fo
    HOW TO FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This document contains the file names followed by motor vehicle manufacturer’s name for a great many of the VIN decoders received by NHTSA since the VIN regulations went into effect on October, 1980. It is not intended for amateur use, and as such is not equipped with the graphical user interfaces that main stream “www” consumer Internet sites are designed with. To use it, using your computer keyboard, hold “CONTROL” and tap “F” This action will bring up a query field. Only use one or two words of a manufacturer’s name when performing this search. It is best to use the second name of Chinese manufacturers as their first name may be a Province. Using the “find next” key stroke, go all the way through the document until you find (and record) every file name associated with your manufacturer. Manually type ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail or just click on this hyperlink. Hold “control” and tap “F” to display the search screen again allowing you to enter the previously discovered “file names.” Double clicking these file names brings up images of the manufacturer’s VIN decoders. NHTSA intends to revise these sites on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month: (1) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail (2) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/manufacture (3) www.nhtsa.dot.gov.cars.rules.manufacture Page : 1 Monday May 22, 2006 Docket: 01-022N11-B Comment Date Date of Number Received Submitter/Firm/Subject Pages Document ======= ======= ================= ===== ======== 00001 04/17/1980 KEITH L.

  • 2012 Vehicle Recalls by Manufacturer
    2012 Vehicle Recalls by Manufacturer This analysis should not be interpreted as an indication of what NHTSA thinks of any particular manufacturer or its products. Since these summary numbers do not factor in or weight averages based on production, the largest OEMs tend to top the list each year. These tallies are not used to evaluate manufacturers or to evaluate which recalls the agency may need to investigate or monitor. There are a host of reasons why a manufacturer could have more or fewer recalls in a given year or over time – including, but not limited to, the introduction of new technology, its barometer for measuring risk, which could be more conservative or liberal as contrasted to other manufacturers or the industry as a whole, or other variables.

Highway Accident Report. NTSB/HAR-02/03. Washington, DC. Abstract: On May 31, 2001, near Mountainburg, Arkansas, a Gayle Stuart Trucking, Inc., truck-tractor semitrailer collided with a 65-passenger school bus operated by the Mountainburg, Arkansas, Public Schools. Three school bus passengers were fatally injured; two other passengers received serious injuries. Four passengers, the school bus driver, and the truckdriver sustained minor injuries. The major safety issues discussed in this report are the poor condition of the tractor semitrailer brakes, inadequate motor carrier inspections and oversight, the use of propane tanks on school buses, and occupant protection within school buses. As a result of its investigation, the Safety Board made recommendations to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, the National Fire Protection Association, and spring brake manufacturers.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Iowa’s workforce training programs have evolved from a business expansion incentive tool into a comprehensive, targeted human resource tool available to all Iowa businesses. The mission of IDED’s Workforce Development initiative is: to work in partnership with public/private service providers and other state agencies to actively promote Iowa’s preeminence in new employee training, incumbent worker preparation, lifelong learning, and development and expansion of the state’s labor pool to enhance the state’s businesses’ competitiveness, thus keeping companies located in Iowa and raising the wages of Iowa workers. Iowa’s industry-driven workforce development programs and services enhance Iowa’s economic well being by increasing the skills of an already productive Iowa workforce. Iowans, with their unmatched work ethic, are acquiring skills that will increase their earning and improve the competitiveness of Iowa businesses. By leveraging training resources, filling funding gaps in human resource development initiatives, and sponsoring business consortia that address common employment training needs, the skills of Iowa’s workers are enhanced, allowing its industries to grow. Iowa training dollars can be used to provide the following services: - Basic Adult Education - Skill Assessment - Job related counseling - Training services of a community college or another educational institution - Training related materials, equipment, software and supplies - Testing and evaluation of employees - Cost of training services for company, college or contracted trainer - Reimbursement of training travel costs for employees - Contracted or professional services Eligible applicants include Iowa businesses engaged in manufacturing, processing, assembling products, warehousing, wholesaling, or conducting research and development. Businesses engaged in the provision of services that have customers outside of Iowa are also eligible.
