ARA Sent a Comment to FMCSA’s Definition of a Tank Vehicle

ARA sent a comment to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regarding the proposed revision to “tank vehicle” definition that will be used to determine the license endorsement requirement. ARA supports most of the proposed revisions, which includes :FMCSA’s proposal to regulate tanks with an individual capacity of 1,000 gallons or more, to regulate trucks carrying permanently attached tanks with an aggregate capacity of 1,000 gallons or more, and the proposal to not regulate portable intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) that are manifested as empty or filled only with residue.
