Trucking regulations and policies have made significant shifts in the industry this year, led by the Trump administration’s transportation secretary.
Beyond the administration appointing a new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration head and ongoing tariffs, a deregulatory agenda has initiated sweeping moves in regards to emissions rules, speed limiters and more.
At the same time, the federal government has sought to make standards for states when issuing and renewing non-domiciled CDLs and commercial learner’s permits. And out-of-service penalties for violating English language proficiency requirements have made some carriers rethink routes.
Trucking Dive compiled a list of key regulatory and policy issues that shaped change, noting that some issues are still evolving. If there’s something on your radar, please let us know as we continue our reporting on trucking regulations and policies.
