FMCSA - New Intermodal Equipment Rules

Drivers, motor carriers, and providers of intermodal equipment are now subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) (73 FR 76794; December 17, 2008). If you are an intermodal equipment provider (IEP) or a motor carrier or driver operating intermodal equipment used to transport intermodal containers, the new rule requires you to share safety responsibilty for intermodal equipment (IME) operating in interstate commerce on our nation's highways.
