Commercial trucking operates under a comprehensive federal regulatory framework that does not apply to ordinary motor vehicle collisions. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has adopted exhaustive regulations governing nearly every aspect of interstate trucking operations, codified in 49 C.F.R. Sections 390 through 396. These regulations establish mandatory standards for driver qualifications, maximum hours of service, vehicle maintenance and inspection, cargo securement, drug and alcohol testing, and dozens of other operational requirements.
