Trucking companies are governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Federal Department of Transportation (USDOT) as well as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Individuals operating trucks such as FedEx box trucks and semi-trailers are by law required to follow these rules. Unfortunately they don’t always do so, resulting in serious car accidents.
