Jonathan Todd Quoted in Star Carrier | “Experts Predict Major Regulatory Rollbacks”
December 3, 2024
Jonathan Todd, Vice Chair of Benesch’s Transportation & Logistics Practice Group, was quoted in the Star Carrier about anticipated regulatory and policy changes under Trump’s administration.
Reducing regulatory requirements was a theme of Trump’s first term and is likely to resume when he is sworn in again in January 2025. Todd explained, “There was a rule in Trump 45 that for every new regulation proposed, two regulations had to be removed.”
A less stringent regulatory environment could ease employer requirements, provide flexibility in hiring practices, and potentially reverse standards on overtime and independent contractor status. This might affect worker benefits, protections, and vehicle emission standards set by previous administrations.
For motor carriers, shifting regulations could influence equipment decisions, fleet management, and vehicle usability nationwide. While plans for adopting electric vehicles can proceed, urgency may diminish. “We will likely see an EPA that is less focused on greenhouse emissions for vehicles and less willing to work with aggressive states like California in enacting their own policies and their own aggressive mandates,” Todd noted.
