The responsibility of ever truck driver:
It is the responsibility of motor carrier operators and drivers to know and
comply with all applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Safety
compliance and safe operations translate into saved lives and property. We
believe the information in this package, when effectively applied, will
contribute to safer motor carrier operations and highways.
The FMCSA provide a lot of excellent resources for trucking companies and
truck fleets, but the information may be too difficult to understand for the
new truck owner operator.
