Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0156
Abstract
FMCSA amends the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) by revising the definition of "gross combination weight rating" (or GCWR) to clarify the applicability of the Agency's safety regulations for single-unit trucks (vehicles other than truck tractors) when they are towing trailers, and the GCWR information is not included on the vehicle manufacturer's certification label.
