Indiana Semi Tractor Trailer Accident Attorneys

Driver Qualification:

Indiana has adopted Part 391 of the Federal Regulations with a few modifications. The age limit was altered: in Indiana, a driver may be as young as 18 years old if he’s not transporting hazardous waste. Otherwise, he must be at least 21. Also, a driver who does not meet the physical qualifications to operate a commercial motor vehicle in Indiana may apply for a waiver from the state.

Vehicle Marking/Identification:

Indiana hasn’t adopted Sec. 390.21 of the Federal Regulations for intrastate operation. Intrastate vehicles under the jurisdiction of the Public Utility Commission, however, are subject to any applicable vehicle identification requirements issued by that agency.

Loads:

Indiana has adopted Part 393 of the Federal Regulations, including regulations dealing with projecting and shifting or falling. In addition to the Federal Regulations, see 67 Indiana Code Sec. 231.209 for requirements regarding projecting loads.
