Test your knowledge of passenger carriers: Answers
- All of the above. The vehicle operator that meets all four points above is eligible but not required to use the exception to most federal safety regulations in 390.3(f)(6). A carrier must weigh the risks versus benefits of using an exception from rules meant to uphold safety.
- True. The CDL and drug testing rules apply to drivers of vehicles that meet the definition in 382.107 and 383.5. Compensation or lack thereof is not considered. Operating for a non-profit organization does not affect the safety rules that apply to the vehicle and driver.
- $1,500.00. Per 387.33, the minimum insurance level for 9 to 15-passenger vehicles in for-hire operations is $1,500,000. The carrier would be responsible for any deductible costs or claims over the insured amount. Carrying the minimum insurance may need to be evaluated in the age of larger verdicts.
