State Non-Compliance with Federal Trucking Laws
State Non-Compliance with Federal Trucking Laws
The federal government has created laws and regulations to regulate the size and weight of commercial vehicles on interstate highways. These laws are in place to protect interstates from excessive damage, which in turn decreases commercial freight efficiency and is repaired with taxpayer dollars. Individual states are required to enforce these federal trucking laws, although individual states may also have additional laws that truckers must follow.
At TBS Factoring Service, LLC, we understand the difficulties that can arise as your company attempts to comply with all federal, state, and local laws while still remaining financially stable. We offer a flexible freight factoring service to help you keep your accounts in order. Contact our offices today at 800-207-7661 to discuss the needs of your commercial freight business.
State Non-Compliance Penalties
Individual truckers or trucking companies can face significant fines and penalties if they fail to follow trucking laws. This is because states themselves can face harsh federal penalties if they fail to comply with federal requirements regarding:
- Truck weight
- Truck size
- Reporting enforcement activities
States that either fail to enforce federal policies or attempt to enact policies that are in conflict with federal regulations may lose some or all of their federal highway funding, which has a negative effect on their economy and budget. However, in addition to enforcing federal policies, individual state governments may create even stricter regulations regarding limit weight and size on state highways.
