| Summary of Issue | Material should be added to the OOSC relating to cargo blocking and bracing. Add a reference to FMCSR 393.43(d) to OOS Item 1.c(1) Add a reference to FMCSR 393.70 to OOS Item 2.b.(4) relating to upper coupler bolts. C-Dolly can be read different ways also, add a reference to the FMCSRs for violations. Suspension 9.b.(3)2. and 9.c. - add a reference to the FMCSRs. |
| Justification or Need | This is an important part of the harmonization effort relating to load securement and the draft regulations. For inspector reference. If you read the OOSC one way, it appears that if a C-Dolly is missing the vehicle would be OOS. |
| Request for Action | Come up with a uniform standard and OOSC criteria. Add the note for a violation reference to Parking Brakes/Coupling Systems. C-Dolly clarification and amendment if necessary. |
