Summary of Issue

In Regard to S. 86 (3)(b) NSC standard 10, as the old officers where taught to the standard of measuring over hang at last point of contact with trailer and from AB inspection seen at road check AB applies the old standard. We have heard a new interpretation of measured at end of cargo carrying capacity of trailer whether or not the intermodal container is in contact with the deck at the rearmost point. This is referring to a dove trailer where the trailer slopes down with a container over hanging.

Justification or Need

Clarification on where we measure the 1.5m of an empty intermodal container on a dove trailer.

Request for Action

Clarification on where we measure the 1.5m of an empty intermodal container on a dove trailer. Do we measure from the last point with the intermodal container and the dove trailer or continue to measure from the rear of the vehicle.
