As a Commercial driver (CMV), you have a great responsibility to make sure goods are delivered on-time. But like all other drivers who use Utah’s roads and highways, you also play a vital role in ensuring everyone arrives safely to their destinations.
Truck Smart is the UDOT Motor Carriers program that provides CMV drivers with useful information specific to Utah including ports of entry, locations of rest stops, secondary highway restrictions and parking areas along major freeways and highways across the state. It also shares CMV safety guidance to help everyone on the road arrive safely to their destinations.
