About PDF

• The regulations are rules created by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to ensure that trucks and buses are operated safely on the roads.
• One important regulation is about how long truck drivers and other commercial vehicle operators can drive without taking a break. This is to prevent fatigue-related accidents.
• Another regulation is about drug and alcohol testing. Commercial drivers must undergo regular testing to ensure they are not under the influence while operating their vehicles.
• The regulations also specify how commercial vehicles should be inspected and maintained to ensure they are safe to drive. This includes regular inspections and keeping records of maintenance activities.
• The FMCSA regulations also cover how hazardous materials should be handled and transported, including proper labeling and securing of the cargo.
