Trucking safety standards

Trucking safety standards are rules designed to ensure truck drivers operate vehicles responsibly to protect themselves and others. These include regular vehicle inspections, adhering to speed limits, managing driver fatigue through regulated work hours, and securing cargo properly. Drivers must follow traffic laws, wear safety belts, and avoid distractions. Companies also maintain safety records and provide training. These standards aim to prevent accidents, ensure road safety, and promote responsible trucking practices, balancing efficiency with safety for everyone on the road.
