Trucking Regulations

Truck safety technology rules on the horizon in 2026: speed limiters, automatic emergency braking, and side underride guards — where each proposal stands.

What is a truck’s black box? ELDs, event data recorders, and telematics explained: what each system records, how the data is used in claims, and why it disappears fast.

Why truck weight limits exist, the federal 80,000-pound rule, how overloading causes rollovers and brake failures, and how weight violations surface in crash claims.

FMCSA hours-of-service rules explained simply: driving limits, rest breaks, sleeper berth rules, ELDs, and why these limits matter so much in truck accident claims.
