TDMST Weekly Round-Up 2026.02.07 is the trucking commentary on news affecting professional truck drivers for the week ending February 7, 2026, written by Vicki Simons.
I welcome your comments, thoughts and feedback on the items of your choice below.
1. Regarding Language and Weather:
Language
I am glad that this topic is getting the attention it deserves.
This is part of “General qualifications of drivers [who drive a commercial motor vehicle]” 49 C.F.R. 391.11(b)(2):
Can read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records;
It appears that for too long, states have been letting this slide and now they cannot run from the consequences.

Quoting the article in this section
The alert issued [by the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office (NAGO)] on February 4, 2026, warns Nebraskans that “DEF systems are present in diesel engines and equipment often used by farmers, truckers, and motorists. Consumers should note that their current DEF equipment may present safety risks, such as sudden speed loss and shutdowns.”
Please be aware of this.

Any other lessons?
Smuggling
Never ever transport people made in the image of God as if they were cattle or cargo — no matter how large of an incentive you’ve been offered.
Theft
Never take something that doesn’t belong to you unless you have permission from the owner.
With as much surveillance equipment as is in place in the 21st century, it’s only a matter of time before the thieves are apprehended.

California
- California: Clean Truck Check Rules Still in Force for Out-of-State Trucks, Despite EPA Disapproval
- California: Clean Truck Check Rules Still in Force for Out-of-State Trucks, Despite EPA Disapproval
ELDs
How many times will the FMCSA reject the use of certain ELDs after they once previously required only self-certification of the products?
Others within the trucking industry were speaking out against the Electronic Logging Devices “mandate” long before December 4, 2017, but you may read my commentary on the mandate.
In TDMST Weekly Round-Up: 2017.12.09, I quoted Indiana’s Attorney General, Curtis Hill, regarding the self-certification provision regarding ELDs.
I also asked, “In what other industry besides trucking has the government ever mandated the purchase of a ‘self-certification’ product?“
So, I’m truly distressed for every trucker who invested in a “self-certified” ELD that used to be on the approved list, only to later have that certification revoked!
If you are such a trucker, I want to hear from you about how expensive this was for you.

…
The EPA also pointed to August 2025 guidance urging engine and equipment manufacturers to revise DEF system software in existing vehicles and equipment in order to “protect hard-working American farmers, truckers, and other diesel equipment operators from sudden shutdowns and give them the time to make repairs without impacting productivity or safety.”
