Denver, Colorado — Transportation attorneys Brandon Wiseman and Jerad Childress have launched eRegs, a mobile app that gives owner-operators and fleets instant, searchable access to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) form the backbone of compliance for every trucking operation in the United States. Until now, carriers paid thousands of dollars each year to purchase, distribute, and replace physical pocketbooks that quickly become outdated. Wiseman and Childress recognized that the industry needed a more efficient, up‑to‑date solution that could be accessed from any device, especially as more drivers rely on smartphones and tablets for daily operations.
eRegs connects directly to the electronic Code of Federal Regulations, guaranteeing that users always view the most current text. The app also bundles educational materials curated by Trucksafe Consulting, allowing drivers to dive deeper into complex regulatory language. Carriers can add drivers to their accounts for a one‑time fee of $4 per driver, after which each driver receives a digital copy of the regulations that can be highlighted, bookmarked, or annotated with notes. The service offers a 14‑day free trial, with subscription options at $4 per month or $40 annually. Additional driver invites remain available at $4 each, enabling fleets to scale compliance quickly without the overhead of paper distribution.
What This Means for Drivers
For CDL‑A holders and owner‑operators, eRegs eliminates the need to carry bulky regulation books while on the road. Drivers can pull up specific sections of the FMCSRs on their phones at the touch of a button, saving time and reducing the risk of non‑compliance from outdated information. The app’s annotation features let drivers flag critical clauses and add personal reminders, ensuring that key safety requirements are never overlooked. Fleet managers receive digital receipts that prove every driver has accessed the regulations, streamlining audit preparation and reducing administrative burden.
Industry Reaction
The trucking community has long expressed frustration with the cost and inefficiency of paper regulatory books. Many carriers have reported spending up to $5,000 annually on distribution, only to find the books discarded after a single season. By offering a low‑cost, digital alternative, eRegs taps into a growing demand for tech‑enabled compliance tools. Industry groups focused on fleet efficiency and safety have welcomed the app as a step toward modernizing the way drivers engage with FMCSA regulations.
