Trucking With Authority

Talk to anyone about the history of the trucking industry and one topic will always come up, regulations. Just how does an industry that prides itself on undergoing a huge government period of deregulation have so many regulations? It seems that there is a new regulation proposed every time the government approves a new bill. So how do we stay on top of the regulations and how can we continue to conduct a profitable business when it seems as though "Big Brother" is always looking over our shoulders?
