Motor Carrier Safety Division

The Motor Carrier Safety Division (MCSD) was established under the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol in 2005 to provide a safe transportation system in the state, while reassuring the public that the mobility of people and goods are one of their top priorities. MCSD Officers work in conjunction with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) and other law enforcement agencies across the state to promote commercial vehicle safety and security.

The Motor Carrier Safety Division works in accordance with the statutes and regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).  The primary mission of the FMCSA is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA is headquartered in Washington, DC.

The Motor Carrier Safety Division consists of Inspectors, New Entrant Auditors, Compliance Review Investigators and Civilian Support Staff.
