CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
As all of you know, the trucking industry has been working very hard over the past three years to resolve the issue of the patchwork of state meal & rest statutes and the impact such statutes (and most notably, California’s meal & rest statute) have had on trucking. As has been the case on several occasions over this stretch of time, the U.S. Congress has failed to rectify this situation.
Compliance and Regulatory News
Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) enforcement personnel patrolled roadways during Operation Safe Driver Week, July 15-21, 2018, to identify CMV drivers and passenger vehicle drivers engaged in unsafe driving behaviors. Officers issued 57,405 citations and 87,907 warnings to drivers throughout the week. This safe driving enforcement and awareness campaign aims to call attention to driver behaviors, the main cause of crashes, and combat those behaviors through heightened traffic safety enforcement and educational outreach.
