The Fleet Desk·3w ago·1 min read
The Trump administration targets CARB's clean fleet rules, speed limiters, and CDL regulations in a broad trucking deregulation push.
A Sweeping Regulatory Rollback
The Trump administration has unveiled a broad deregulation package targeting several pending and existing trucking regulations. The package includes moves to preempt California's Advanced Clean Fleets rule, shelve the federal speed limiter mandate, and streamline CDL reciprocity across states.
Key Provisions
- CARB preemption: Federal challenge to California's zero-emission truck mandates
- Speed limiters: Indefinite delay of the proposed 68 mph federal mandate
- CDL streamlining: Faster interstate license reciprocity for commercial drivers
- Emissions rollback: Review of EPA Phase 3 heavy-duty emissions standards
Industry Reaction
Carrier associations welcomed the moves, while environmental groups and safety advocates expressed strong opposition. California officials have vowed to defend their emissions standards in court.
