BEWARE: ABA Marketplace Scams

We want to bring to your immediate attention a concerning issue that has arisen in the last few days. There has been an increasing number of scam calls targeting our members and Marketplace registrants regarding hotel reservations.

 

Important Details:

Scam Activity: The most prolific scam call is coming from 800-878-0113 from an individual named "Joseph." This caller is falsely claiming to offer an early bird rate for hotel stays in Philadelphia.

Our Process: ABA will be opening up hotel reservations on August 9, and we are not using any third-party affiliate to call you about those reservations, secure "special" low rates, or other offers. These calls are scams.

 

Action Steps

Do Not Engage: If you receive such a call from 800-878-0113 or other unfamiliar number, we suggest blocking the number to remove further contact from the scammer.

Official Reservations: The only way to secure your hotel reservations is through ABA and the Marketplace website. Information on how to make reservations will be posted on August 9, and we will send out a notice to all current registered attendees with information on how to secure your hotel booking.

 

ABA is committed to ensuring your safety and the security of your information. Please remain vigilant and do not engage with these fraudulent calls. If you have any questions or need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us directly at (800) 283-2877.

FMCSA to Accept Official Mexican Standard as Comparable to the CVSA Based Inspection

FMCSA publicó el pasado 16 de marzo un anuncio comunicando que van a empezar a aceptar la Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) como inspecciones periódicas comparables a la inspección basada en el CVSA. La aceptación de la NOM-68 por parte de la FMCSA significa que aquellos transportistas domiciliados en México que operan en los Estados Unidos deben garantizar que sus vehículos comerciales son inspeccionados anualmente de acuerdo a la exigencia de la Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT). Los transportistas mexicanos deberán conservar una copia del informe de inspección y un sello / etiqueta la cual debe ser colocada en el vehículo con el fin de satisfacer las necesidades periódicas de inspección en los Estados Unidos. Esta acción es efectiva inmediatamente y reconocerá todas los sellos / etiquetas emitidos desde el 1º de octubre del 2015.

FMCSA published a notice on March 16 announcing that they will begin accepting the Norma Oficial Mexicana ((NOM) or Official Mexican Standard) as a comparable periodic inspection to the CVSA based inspection. FMCSA's acceptance of NOM 68 means that Mexico-domiciled motor carriers operating in the United States must ensure that their CMVs are inspected annually as required by the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT). Mexican carriers will still have to retain a copy of the inspection report and a sticker/decal must be affixed to the vehicle in order to satisfy the periodic inspection requirements in the United States. This action is effective immediately and they will honor all stickers issued on or after October 1, 2015.
