Experienced Chicago Trucking Lawyer

Illinois trucking law encompasses federal and state laws pertaining to tractor-trailers, semi-trucks and cargo logistics. In 1966, Congress established the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to achieve a uniform trucking policy for the nation. Although this agency coordinates all trucking in the U.S., the actual laws that govern drivers are largely state created and governed.

Federal agencies governing trucking law include such agencies as the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Federal Railroad Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Transportation Safety Board, the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, the Surface Transportation Board (formerly the Interstate Commerce Commission), the Federal Maritime Commission, the National Transportation Safety Board, the Air Transportation Stabilization Board, and the National Transportation Safety Board.
