Universal commercial driving laws?

i understand your point, but here is part of the reason, every state is diffrent, some you have to go slow for safty like ca, you don't want to take the hills too fast, but that should mean that the 4 wheelers go the same speed, as a whole the trucking industry has less accadents than the 4 wheelers, and yes that is looking at the average of how many cars are out there and how many trucks are out there. some states put those rules into effect because of "super truckers" but it just hurts the rest of us

 

We had a federal speed limit of 55mph when Jimmy Carter was president. Want to go back? I'd prefer 60mph for trucks 65mph for cars and no tolerance enforcement with $100 fine for every mile per hour over the speed limit. I would not have a speeding fine go on the driving record though, unless 10 mph over or more. Use the money for roads and bridges.

 

I think that CDL's should be nationwide. Standardize the testing and let the states administer the CDL testing but make it a nationwide license so it doesn't matter where you go to school, renew your license, etc.
