Motor Carrier Safety Regulations

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are rules established to ensure the safe operation of commercial trucks and buses. They cover aspects like driver qualifications, hours of service to prevent fatigue, vehicle maintenance, and safety standards. These regulations aim to reduce accidents, protect drivers and the public, and promote overall highway safety. Agencies like the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enforce these rules through inspections, licensing requirements, and safety programs. Compliance helps ensure that commercial transportation is conducted responsibly, efficiently, and safely across highways and routes.
