In 2019, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration exempted car haulers driving stinger-steered transporter equipment from having to place warning flags on overhanging loads. Recently, the agency announced its plans to renew the exemption.

Current regulations require any commercial motor vehicle transporting a load that extends more than 4 feet beyond the rear of the vehicle to be marked with a single red or orange fluorescent warning flag at the extreme rear if the projecting load is 2 feet wide or less and two warning flags if the projecting load is wider than 2 feet.

The initial exemption was granted for five years. Citing no known safety incidents caused by the exemption, the groups asked for a renewal.

FMCSA granted a provisional renewal for six months.

📝Conditions
Several conditions were cited in the provisional renewal:

- The exemption does not apply to any other type of transporter equipment or other types of projecting or oversized loads.
- Motor carriers operating under the exemption must notify FMCSA of any crash to the rear of the stinger-steered auto transporter equipment within seven business days.
- Vehicles that overhang from the transporter must be equipped with all other lights and reflective devices required by existing regulations.
- Motor carriers and commercial motor vehicles operating under this exemption must comply with all other applicable regulations unless specifically exempted from a requirement

🚛FMCSA wants to see your leasing agreement📃

If you’re a truck driver and have a lease agreement with a trucking company, federal regulators want to see your contract.

The request is part of a data collection that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is requesting on behalf of its Truck Leasing Task Force (TLTF) in an effort to crack down on deceptive leasing practices that can affect a truck driver’s health and safety.

TLTF, stood up by FMCSA last year as part of a congressional mandate, is tasked with “reviewing the terms, conditions, and equitability” of truck leasing arrangements between owner-operators and trucking companies.

🚛Attention to all Truck Carriers driving in California 🌴:

♻️ California is leading the way to a cleaner transportation future with the new Clean Truck Check program. Formerly known as the Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance (HD I/M) Regulation, it aims to reduce air pollution by preventing high-polluting trucks (those over 14,000 lbs. GVWR).

🗓️ Here’s the latest: The California Air Resources Board has extended the deadline for initial reporting to January 31, 2024.
Whether your trucks are in-state or out-of-state, if they travel within California, this program applies to you❗️
The reporting process has been streamlined, allowing fleet operators to submit smog-check results remotely for convenience.

❗️All heavy-duty truck owners operating in California must comply with these reporting requirements. Carriers are required to register with CARB and obtain certification📄

That’s fantastic news for California CDL holders! 🌴📢

The California Department of Motor Vehicles is making life easier by launching online commercial driver’s license renewals.

🟩Eligible drivers can now skip the trip to the DMV office and conveniently renew their licenses on the DMV website🟩

According to DMV Director Steve Gordon, “This new online service is one more way we are making it easier on the commercial drivers who move essential goods throughout the state.”

While online renewals have been available for noncommercial licenses, commercial drivers previously had to visit the office due to additional requirements.

🚛 Now, eligible CDL holders can simply upload necessary documents, pay the fee online, and expect their new CDL card within a few weeks.

Time-saving convenience for the drivers who keep California moving! 🚚✨

Systems using ELDs and GPS must comply beginning January 1, 2024🗓️

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) has finalized changes to requirements for electronic records to tightly define what data elements are required and what formats are acceptable⚠️

For distance records produced by a vehicle tracking system that utilizes latitudes and longitudes (ELDs and GPS), a record must be created and maintained at a minimum every 🕐10 minutes when the vehicle’s engine is on🚛

This action is even more stringent than recent changes for electronic records under the International Registration Plan (IRP), which require a minimum record creation rate of every 15 minutes while the engine is on.

✅Mirroring changes under IRP, electronic records under IFTA must be accessible in an electronic spreadsheet format such as XLS, XLSX, CSV, or delimited text file📊

‼️Formats from a vehicle tracking system that provides a static image such as PDF, JPEG, PNG, or Word are not acceptable❌

The effective date for the changes – January 1, 2024 – also aligns with changes recently finalized by IRP.
