THE EVOLUTION OF TRUCKING
In The United States of America
The Federal Interstate High- way System , as the largest public works project in U.S. history, was signed by Presi- dent Eisenhower that added more the 40,000 miles of Interstate Highways.
The ELD Mandate is a federal government rule that requires truck drivers to use electronic logging devices (ELDs) to record Hours-of-Service. While designed to promote safety and regulation compliance, it has had a major deteriorating effect on driver productivity.
The Motor Carrier Act of 1980, also known as 'deregulation', removed federal entry controls in interstate trucking which made the industry substantially more competitive and increased the total number of trucking companies in operation.
