Duffy unveiled a sweeping package of reforms aimed at improving the everyday lives of America’s truckers, fulfilling the promise of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order: Enforcing Commonsense Rules of the Road for America’s Truck Drivers.

The plan includes:

• Over $275 million in funding to expand truck parking, including $180 million in Floridato build 917 new spaces along I-4.

• Withdrawal of the speed limiter mandate for heavy-duty trucks.

• Modernization of FMCSA’s online tools and complaint systems.

• Elimination of 1,800 words from federal regulations.
