Emergency Infectious Disease Regulations
 

These temporary regulations from the Department of Labor are capricious, burdensome and, quite possibly, run afoul of existing regulations on privacy. As an essential service, trucking has continued throughout the current pandemic to provide needed goods and services to sustain the population and the economy. Trucking has been able to do this by making commonsense adjustments to its operations, both on the road and within its shops and offices necessary to continue daily operations. Men and women within the trucking industry have spent countless hours poring over guidelines and recommendations for medical and industry experts to draft continuation plans that work best for their operations and provide the most practical level of safeguards for their employees.
