🚚FMCSA Repeals Obsolete Motor Carrier Routing Regulations
Motor Carrier Routing Regulations
Summary
FMCSA repeals the for-hire motor carrier routing regulations which concern servicing municipalities and unincorporated communities. These regulations are unlawful because they exceed FMCSA's statutory authority following the transfer of rules from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 1995, which were carried over to FMCSA in 2000.
