Title: Minimum Training Requirements for Longer Combination Vehicle (LCV) Operators and LCV Driver-Instructor Requirements 
Abstract: This final rule establishes minimum training requirements for operators of longer combination vehicles and requirements for the instructors who train these operators, as mandated by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). Section 4007 of ISTEA directed that training for LCV operators include certification of an operator's proficiency by an instructor who has met the requirements established by the Secretary of DOT. This rule is considered significant because of substantial public interest and safety.
