Who Makes The Laws For 18 Wheeler Drivers and Truck Companies?
Trucking is a highly regulated industry. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) (www.fmcsa.dot.gov) is the federal agency in charge of these regulations. There are hundreds of rules and regulations, which can be viewed on their site. Often states also have laws regulating 18-wheelers. All are intended to protect motorists from the dangers of so many large trucks on our nation’s highways and roads, but thousands of tractor-trailer accidents still happen each year.
