FMCSA Chassis Regulations

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is seeking input regarding whether changes or updates to the safety regulations governing chassis are required. 

 

While this not an official request, the information they receive will determine how they will proceed and whether a more formal rulemaking is necessary.

 

They are interested in suggestions regarding all of the safety regulations around chassis, but a specific example would be whether the attached list detailing how chassis violations are allocated to motor carriers or equipment providers would need to be updated.

 

Any supporting information or data you can provide will be critical to helping FMCSA understand the safety impact of any changes to chassis regulations.

 

If you have recommendations regarding changes to this list or other safety regulations regarding chassis, please send them on an email to jeisen@trucking.org

 

We appreciate your contributions to help shape future regulations. Should you have questions or need additional information please do not hesitate to contact Bernice Creager at 916-373-3525 or bcreager@caltrux.org.
