Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy debuted a registration system for the trucking industry aimed at combating fraud.

The Trump administration has taken aim at fraud in the trucking industry, with Duffy sending the issue to the top of his priority list. On Tuesday, Duffy and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Administrator Derek Barrs announced the rollout of the new registration system, called Motus, which aims to streamline the registration process. A press release from the Department of Transportation said Motus replaces “a decades-old network of loosely connected applications rife with fraud, waste, and abuse.”
