The trucking industry is constantly evolving, and 2024 brings new regulations and industry shifts that impact drivers, fleet owners, and logistics companies. One major update includes stricter emission standards, requiring newer trucks to meet lower carbon output levels. Additionally, electronic logging device (ELD) requirements are being reinforced to ensure compliance with federal driving hours.
Another key change is increased highway safety measures, with some states introducing speed limiter mandates on heavy-duty trucks to reduce accidents. The industry is also seeing a rise in electric and autonomous trucks, with companies investing heavily in sustainable solutions.
As these changes roll out, truckers and fleet managers must stay informed and adapt to new requirements to remain compliant and competitive in the evolving landscape.
