| Summary of Issue | In the 2001 OOSC, there are no out-of-service conditions or relevant code sections listed for driveaway/towaway operations in Section F (Safety Devices). Further, the code section specified therein, 393.70(c), is improper for driveaway-towaway operation, whereas such regulation specifically excludes driveaway-towaway operations. |
| Justification or Need | Since 393.70(c) specifically excludes driveaway/towaway operations, the oversight in the out of service criteria and the specific exclusion in 393.70(c) may lead one to believe such a condition does not place the vehicle in an out-of-service condition. |
| Request for Action | Include the code section 393.71(h)(1) for driveaway-towaway operations in the relevant categories in the OOSC, Section F. |
