The Trucker realizes that federal and state regulations impacts trucking companies and their drivers. While the goals of most new government regulatory programs may be to gain broad public support, in practice regulations usually come down to detailed rules and paperwork that can be highly costly and burdensome to those who have to comply. These regulations often have a more significant impact on smaller companies who have limited resources and have more difficult time adapting. For example, new equipment and personnel regulations can create extra expenses for trucking companies and meeting these regulations can be costly.
