SexyÕæÈË FMCSR Adoption

Updates to New Jersey Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (N.J.A.C. 13.60)


In order to maintain compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations, the SexyÕæÈËy has adopted the (FMCSR) under N.J.A.C. 13:60 for intrastate commercial motor vehicles 10,001 pounds and greater.

These updated regulations are now effect.

This adoption includes revisions to the definition of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operating on highways in the SexyÕæÈËy. While the vast majority of CMVs operating in New Jersey will be unaffected by this change, a subset of vehicles that were previously not included in the definition of a CMV in New Jersey will now be considered such. As a result, these vehicles will now be subject to FMCSR as adopted in N.J.A.C. 13:60.


Definition of Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) (49 CFR § 390.5)

The following table outlines the changes in the new adoption for each vehicle type:

Type 1: Vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or gross combination weight rating (GCWR), or gross vehicle weight (GVW), or gross combination weight (GCW) of 10,001 pounds or more, whichever is greater;
