All truck drivers in the state of Washington must abide by very specific regulations during their work shifts. Truck drivers are required to take breaks for a certain amount of time after working their shifts in order to not become tired. Drivers are also required to carry specific trucking licenses and ensure that their vehicles and cargo are in drivable condition. Since the highways and weather throughout Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham and other cities throughout Washington are often changing, drivers must adhere to a strict and slower speed limit than other vehicles.
