Starting in 2013, Nebraska is adopting a federal regulation that bans cell-phone use in any truck over 10,000 pounds. The rule applies to truck-driving professionals with 18 wheels, as would be expected.

Many more folks in the state will benefit from decreased distracted driving, so plan ahead to change cell-phone habits!
