NCBA Supports Withdrawal of Harmful Speed Limiter Rule

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) shared support for the withdrawal of the speed limiter rule by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), two agencies under the U.S. Department of Transportation.
