FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) – What Is It?
The FMCSA is like the rulebook keeper for the trucking industry—it’s a government agency that regulates and ensures the safety of commercial vehicles and drivers on U.S. roads.
Think of it as a watchdog for road safety—the FMCSA sets standards for driver qualifications, vehicle inspections, and transport practices to keep everyone on the road safe.
Example:
A carrier needs to apply for a Motor Carrier Number and follow safety guidelines set by the FMCSA before they can legally transport vehicles across state lines. 🚛📋
