Episode 34: Breaking Down CVSA’S 2025 Annual Conference and What It Means For You

Held in Denver, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) 2025 Annual Meeting brought together federal and state enforcement officials, carriers and industry experts to explore how safety and compliance are evolving on the road. 

The meeting highlighted several emerging trends that are reshaping the landscape of commercial vehicle safety. From a crackdown on electronic logging device (ELD) fraud and English language proficiency to delays in medical certifications and growing conversations around autonomous vehicles and driver qualifications, the event signaled a shift in both regulatory focus and industry priorities.

In this episode of the TTT podcast, hosts Sean Garney and Steve Keppler are joined by TrueNorth’s Bert Mayo to break down the highlights and actions from the meeting and their impact on trucking.
