FMCSA Signals a Busy 2026: The Rule Changes on the Radar
FMCSA has signaled an unusually active rulemaking year. On the radar: hours-of-service flexibility pilots, the electronic DVIR rule, continued English-proficiency enforcement, and broader "Pro-Trucker Package" changes aimed at driver working conditions.
Not all of these are in force — some are pilots, some proposals, some final rules — which is exactly why they're easy to confuse. The cost of acting on a rule that isn't final, or missing one that is, falls on the carrier.
We'll break each one down as it firms up, in plain English, right here on this page.
