Trucking Safety and Compliance

Government safety officials have recently been taking a closer look at their figures when it comes to dangerous driving habits among their commercial truck drivers, in hopes of improving the situation.

At the recent American Trucking Associations (ATA) Management Conference and Exhibition in Texas, several individuals involved in the trucking industry were recognized for their contributions to the SmartWay programs.

Recently, the American Transportation Research Institute investigated the trucking industry to explore what problems need to be addressed in order to help the field run smoothly and efficiently.

The American Trucking Associations (ATA) often take center stage when it comes to advocating safety regulations within the trucking industry.

Although legislation raising the weight limit for trucks allowed on the roads was passed by Congress to help the industry, some claim that this initiative has put motorists in more danger.

When awards are chosen by customers for their picks of the best trucking and logistics companies, fleet management owners know that this recognition is special.

Debates continue over the allowed hours commercial truck drivers are permitted to drive on the road during a given day.

Staying up to speed with one's acquired driving skills and compliance training for truck drivers is essential to ensuring overall trucking safety.

Traffic conditions are a huge issue for fleet management logistics and truckers that navigate the nation's highways.

When trucks are left idling in traffic for millions of hours every year across North America, the statistics can push fleet management owners and government officials into action.
