Safety in the trucking industry is currently being shaped by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Phase 2 requirements for the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, which reached full implementation in late 2025 and early 2026. These regulations mandate stricter communication between State Driver’s Licensing Agencies and the national database, ensuring that only the most qualified professionals remain behind the wheel.
