The standards were modeled on North American Cargo Securement Standard Model Regulations, which were based on a comprehensive research program to evaluate U.S. and Canadian cargo-securement rules and trucking industry best practices, the agency said.
he Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will hold a public meeting on cargo securement rules April 21-22, in Albuquerque, N.M.
Participants at the meeting will discuss a process for ensuring consistent interpretation of the harmonized cargo securement standards set by FMCSA and Canadian provinces, the agency said in a statement on its Web site.
FMCSA published a final rule Sept. 27, 2002, revising cargo-securement regulations for commercial motor vehicles operated in interstate commerce, with carriers given until Jan. 1, 2004 to comply with the new regulations.
