Title: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; General; Motor Vehicle Marking | |
Abstract: The FHWA is proposing to revise its regulations dealing with the identification and marking of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). Five changes are being proposed which would: (1) Apply the marking requirements to all CMVs operated in interstate commerce, including those common and contract motor carriers of property or passengers formerly authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC); (2) require motor carriers to mark both sides of each CMV with a specific legal name or name under which it does business (DBA name); (3) require motor carriers to mark each CMV with the city and State of its principal place of business; (4) require all new motor carriers to file Form MCS-150 before beginning operations; and (5) move sec. 385.23 and the appendix to part 385 to a new section in part 390. The States would also be allowed and encouraged to use USDOT identification numbers to identify intrastate motor carriers. These changes will improve the identification of motor carriers and CMVs, aid enforcement, and enhance data collection and analysis. | |
