Modesto, California, Federal Trucking Regulations Violations Attorney
In January, 2000, the United States Congress formed the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), charging it with overseeing all regulations governing the transportation of goods by commercial trucks across our nation's roads and highways. The primary responsibility of the FMCSA is to ensure that all truck company owners and drivers adhere to the regulations included in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1963, which is updated almost annually with new provisions.
Truck company owners, subcontracted agents and licensed commercial truck drivers are required to know and follow the FMCSA regulations, or may be held liable for damages in the event a violation resulted in a truck accident, injuring or killing other people on the road. In California, there are typically more than 3,500 truck accident injuries and deaths every year, many of which are the result of FMCSA violations.
