🚌FMCSA Proposes Removal of Obsolete Water Carrier References
Removal of Obsolete References to “Water Carriers”
Summary
FMCSA proposes to remove all obsolete references to "water carriers" in the FMCSA regulations (FMCSRs). FMCSA does not specifically regulate water carriers except to the extent that such carriers also engage in motor carrier operations. In such cases, the existing FMCSRs provide appropriate coverage of the carrier's motor carrier operations.
