Recent legislative moves in Virginia have allocated funds to improve transportation initiatives throughout the state, ABC affiliate WHSV reports.

Many commercial vehicle operators feel as if they are the targets of discrimination on the road.

ver the past few months, legislators and members of the transportation industry have taken a keen interest in truck driving safety through measures such as CSA 2010.

Experts suggest that the health of the trucking industry is an indicator of the country's economic status.

When most people think of CSA 2010, they assume that these new regulations apply primarily to semi-trailer truck operators.

Truckers who have completed driver safety courses may be more likely to avoid accidents and maintain a clean record.

Many commercial vehicle operators are aware that CSA 2010 was implemented last month.

As part of CSA 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will be sending letters to commercial vehicle operators who are above threshold in one or more categories that are outlined in the new regulations.

n recent months, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has placed an increased emphasis on truck driving safety.

Because commercial vehicle operators spend the majority of their time on the road, they may not have the time or resources to stay up-to-speed on the most recent changes to the laws and regulations that govern their industry.
