The political conflict between U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and California Governor Gavin Newsom escalated once again following a statement released on November 12. In it, Duffy accused the state of illegally issuing 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to “foreign drivers not domiciled in the country,” leading to their immediate cancellation. According to the Department of Transportation (DOT), the California DMV acknowledged that these licenses had been impr...

This behavior not only complicates the process but also affects the accuracy and final outcome of the audit, creating negative consequences for both the taxpayer and the IRS. Internal IRS research and publications such as The Tax Adviser and the Journal of Accounting estimate that between 15% and 25% of field audits—and an even h...

Yet data shows that collision rates have not declined in any meaningful way. In response, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is now working to better understand how driver schedules and fatigue impact roadway safety. The FMCSA is currently running two pilot programs aimed at potential adjustments to existing rules, and it now plans a more detailed analy...

Far from being a taboo topic, this phenomenon has emotional, psychological, and physiological roots that science is now taking seriously.

Long routes, tight delivery schedules, and nights spent in the sleeper berth often add up to years of insufficient sleep—sometimes without drivers realizing the impact it has on their long-term health. And science is increasingly pointing to a concerning connection: chronic poor sleep may raise the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia later in life. What happens in the brain when we ...

In California, Title 13 of the Code of Regulations requires commercial trucks to undergo regular and systematic inspections to ensure they remain in safe operating condition. This includes the air-brake system and all associated air lines. State brake regulations also require that air lines and their fittings withstand hig...
