Commercial trucking sits under layered federal, state, and carrier-level rules that rarely align cleanly. Understanding these differences is essential for safety professionals, attorneys, and affected families. This flagship analysis covers hours-of-service rules, inspection standards, licensing gaps, and why enforcement history changes a case.

Understanding compliance history and enforcement gaps can reduce commercial vehicle accidents by up to 40%. Explore our evidence-based safety recommendations for drivers, fleets, and policymakers.
Understanding a serious commercial truck crash requires knowledge that goes well beyond a typical car accident investigation — crash physics, federal regulations, corporate liability, and time-sensitive evidence that can disappear within days.
Federal and state regulations governing commercial trucks are extensive, specific, and often misunderstood. This section reviews the framework that controls how trucks are operated, inspected, and monitored — and what happens when those rules are ignored.
The roads across Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico present unique safety challenges for commercial trucks — from I-70’s steep mountain grades to Wyoming’s extreme wind corridors to New Mexico’s border freight routes. Local knowledge of these roads changes what investigators look for and what evidence matters.
Science and technology are rapidly changing the commercial trucking industry — which should save lives and make our roads safer. We monitor current safety systems, emerging technologies, and the issues that will determine how trucks operate on tomorrow’s roads.
When significant truck crashes make news or regulators change the rules, the real story is often more complex than the headline. This section provides original analysis of industry developments from practitioners who understand what the details actually mean.
