Truck Safety Enforcement Has Dramatically Slowed Since January 2025

A recent article from the Washington Post revealed that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has dramatically slowed the pace of enforcement actions after President Trump took office in January.

According to the Post article, enforcement actions by the FMCSA dropped nearly 60 percent from January 20 until the end of February. Only 157 cases were adjudicated during this time, compared to the 382 cases during the same period in 2024. The Washington Post found a backlog of stalled cases, including almost 70 cases where investigators were looking to shut down allegedly dangerous trucking companies.

A document obtained by the Washington Post revealed that the U.S. Transportation Department’s legal office led to the pause in enforcement cases.

The article says that many in the trucking industry have complained for years that the FMCSA treats them unfairly and that the government agency uses “flawed methods” […]

How a Truck Driver’s Log Book Can Help Your Truck Accident Claim

A truck log book can be the most crucial evidence in your truck accident claim, often revealing the key factors that led to the collision. Commercial truck accidents are among the most devastating, frequently resulting in severe injuries, significant property damage, and even loss of life. Log books track a truck driver’s hours behind the wheel, rest periods, routes traveled, and vehicle maintenance records—all potential indicators of negligence or regulatory violations that may have contributed to your accident.

When a commercial truck weighing up to 80,000 pounds collides with a passenger vehicle, the consequences are rarely minor. Insurance companies representing trucking operations will immediately begin building their defense, which makes securing all available evidence essential for protecting your right to compensation. Log books often reveal patterns of behavior or specific violations that directly connect to the circumstances of your accident. Whether maintained in traditional paper format or through modern Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), […]

Full Tort vs Full Coverage Insurance in PA: What’s the Difference?

Full tort and full coverage insurance are two distinct concepts in Pennsylvania’s auto insurance system. While it’s easy to confuse the two, a lack of clarity about your insurance coverage can lead to a rude awakening after a car accident.

Pennsylvania’s choice no-fault car insurance system gives drivers important options that directly affect their rights to compensation following a collision. While full tort insurance preserves your legal rights to pursue all damages including pain and suffering, full coverage refers to a package of protections that may or may not include a full tort selection. Understanding these differences before purchasing a car insurance policy can save you from discovering limitations too late.

Pennsylvania Auto Insurance Options

Pennsylvania operates under a unique insurance framework that combines elements of both fault and no-fault systems. Unlike traditional no-fault states, Pennsylvania offers drivers a choice in how their insurance will function after an accident. […]
