2014-24011 Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Application for an Exemption From Dealers Choice Truckaway System, Inc. Notice FMCSA requests public comment on an application for exemption from Dealers Choice Truckaway System, Inc. (Truckmovers) to allow the use of plastic blocks to build up the height of the front end of a towed vehicle in driveaway-towaway operations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) permit the use of "hardwood blocks of good quality" for this purpose but the use of materials other than hardwood blocks is not addressed. Truckmovers believes the use of ultra-high molecular polyethylene plastic blocks will maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to the level of safety achieved without the exemption. Truckmovers is requesting the temporary exemption in advance of petitioning FMCSA to conduct a rulemaking to amend 49 CFR 393.71(k)(4) to allow the use of vehicle support blocks made of any suitable material to support the weight of vehicles when towing multiple vehicles in driveaway-towaway operations. 2014-10-08 2014 10 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/10/08/2014-24011/parts-and-accessories-necessary-for-safe-operation-application-for-an-exemption-from-dealers-choice https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-10-08/pdf/2014-24011.pdf Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 492,181 FMCSA requests public comment on an application for exemption from Dealers Choice Truckaway System, Inc.
