The U.S. Department of Transportation just unveiled its National Roadway Safety Strategy through 2028โand trucking is front and center.
๐น Stronger CDL oversight
๐น More roadside enforcement in high-crash areas
๐น Crackdown on unsafe & โchameleonโ carriers
๐น Expanded safe truck parking initiatives
๐น Smarter road design & congestion management
๐น Continued focus on automated vehicle safety
With over 5,300 lives lost in large truck crashes in 2024, this plan is about building safer roads, safer vehicles, and safer communities.
๐ For drivers, fleets, and recruiters, this means compliance, training, and safety programs will matter more than ever.
