In this special extended episode of On the Highway with Tom Bray, hosted by Jimmy Mac on Road Gang Radio, we cut through the regulatory noise and focus on what’s truly changing in the world of the DOT—and why it matters to you.


Tom Bray, Senior Industry Business Advisor with J. J. Keller & Associates, breaks down the latest rule changes, proposals, and clarifications, including:


The quiet death (again) of the speed limiter rule

Removal of outdated regulations like the rear bumper label and ELD user manual requirements

Updates to roadside inspection and conviction self-reporting

Studies that could reshape Hours of Service flexibility

DataQs overhaul and what it means for disputing violations

From fuses to fines and everything in between, Tom helps drivers and fleet leaders stay ahead of the FMCSA curve in a constantly evolving regulatory environment.


This is one hour you’ll want to hear—and maybe replay.
