Frequently asked a question by the truck drivers who want to start a team truck driving career is the following one: Does FMCSA created different rules and regulations for team truck drivers?
Well, I will answer you briefly, The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration implies the same rules for team truck drivers as for solo truck drivers.
