Does this rule change safety requirements that apply to drivers and motor carriers?
Yes, the safety requirements have changed: • Before operating IME over the road, the driver accepting the equipment must inspect the equipment components listed in 392.7(b) and be satisfied that they are in good working order; and • A driver or motor carrier transporting IME must report to the IEP, or its designated agent, any known damage, defects, or deficiencies in the IME at the time the equipment is returned to the IEP or its designated agent. If no damage, defects, or deficiencies are discovered by the driver, the report shall so indicate. The report must include, at a minimum, the items in 396.11(a)(2).
