Effective October 1, 2005,the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations 49 CFR, Part 395 Hours-of-Service change. These new rules provide an increased opportunity for drivers to obtain necessary rest and restorative sleep, while recognizing the business needs of drivers and motor carriers. These regulations only apply to property carriers and commercial motor vehicle drivers. Passenger carriers and their drivers will continue operating under the pre-2003 rules while fatigue issues specific to the passenger carrier industry are assessed. We maintain a complete list of LTL Carriers operating in the United States and Canada. There are addresses and phone numbers as well as links to their respective websites as well. This is especially handy if you’re looking for just the right carrier for your shipping needs or looking for a prospective employer. If we’ve left anyone out of the list, we apologize. Please contact us with the appropriate information and we’ll add your company to the list. The only requirement is that at least part of their operation is LTL.
