Legislation to mandate side underride guards reintroduced
Summary
Congressional sponsors reintroduced the Stop Underrides Act 2.0 to require side underride guards on new trailers and trucks and to direct studies, advisory work, and data improvements to reduce underride crashes. The bill follows an NHTSA ANPRM and responds to cost and weight concerns raised by industry; sponsors aim to strengthen research, reporting, and enforcement. Separately, FMCSA denied virtual carrier CloudTrucks an exemption that would relax driver-application data collection, citing the company's safety record and high-risk designation. Truck Parking Club announced it surpassed 4,000 member locations with 66,000 reservable spaces, reporting rapid adoption and setting a target of 10,000 locations by the end of 2026.
