Regulatory Policy Committee Chairman

Troy Robertson

Con-way Truckload

For safety purposes, there should be permanent identification on all vehicles operating in interstate and intrastate commerce. Identification for vehicles operating under authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission or of state commissions shall be in compliance with requirements of such commissions. Identification of other vehicles shall consist of the name, city, and state of the vehicle owner or long-term lessee. Size and location of such identification should be comparable to that required for authorized carriers.
