Trucking Laws and Regulations
Believe it or not, the trucking industry’s regulations have their roots in the government’s attempts to oversee the railroads in the late 1800’s. The first formally enacted legislation occurred in 1935 with the Motor Carrier Act. Since 1935 the regulation of the trucking industry in Texas and around the United States has become so vast that there are more federal and state agencies, laws and compliance standards applicable to the commercial trucking industry than any other transportation industry in the United States.
