How the Trucking Industry Is Adapting to New Safety Regulations

With increased scrutiny on road safety, new federal regulations are being introduced to improve freight transportation. Electronic logging devices (ELDs) are now mandatory, ensuring drivers adhere to strict hours-of-service rules. More states are requiring advanced driver training and certification for handling hazardous materials. Safety-focused technology, such as collision-avoidance systems, is becoming a standard in modern trucks. These changes aim to reduce accidents and create a safer environment for all road users.
