- New Louisiana Laws of Note to Trucking Industry
The state of Louisiana has recently enacted a series of legal reforms that will significantly impact the trucking industry. Governor Jeff Landry signed multiple bills into law aimed at curbing lawsuit abuse, lowering insurance costs, and creating a more balanced legal environment for truck drivers and motor carriers.
