TRUCK REGULATIONS

New regulations aren’t just about compliance; they’re also about safety. Fleet managers must stay up to date with changes in federal regulations related to speed limiters, automatic emergency braking, the Department of Labor’s definition of “employee,” and many others.

They are essential, as are a whole other set of regulatory changes at the state level. Some state-level regulations have trucking companies pondering how to operate with battery-powered trucks and limited recharging infrastructure. Other state-level regulations rank as more mundane. Speed limits, truck routes, fuel tax rates, truck registration fees, and toll road charges may all change at the state level. Mundane or not, state regulations impact motor carrier safety and compliance.

Commercial vehicle law enforcement officers routinely check truck registration and fuel tax compliance. Failing to adjust to new speed limits compromises safety for all drivers, professional or not. How can fleet managers keep track of regulatory changes across all 50 U.S. states? See the state transportation department for questions about any routing changes. Check with the toll roads/turnpikes where you operate, the electronic toll payment provider your company utilize.

Contact your state transportation department or any of several websites that monitor truck speed limits. Contact your state fuel tax administrator (department of revenue or finance). Get in touch with your state Department of Motor Vehicles or the International Registration Plan. Another option is to contact your friendly state trooper. Safety and compliance are essential to everyone in trucking.
