Types of exemptions

Movements on a train

When the vehicle is moving from one rail yard to another rail yard while on railroad billing and the equipment is used in substituted motor-for-rail transportation of railroad freight, the equipment is exempt from the leasing requirements other than the requirements of 376.11(c).

Commercial zone transportation

If the transportation is performed exclusively within any commercial zone as defined in 49 CFR 372 the vehicle is exempt from the leasing requirements other than the requirements of 376.11(c).

Commercial zones rules are carried over from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). Travel that occurs exclusively in the zones are exempt from certain regulatory provisions – including the leasing regulations.

Rental companies

If the equipment is leased without a driver from a company that is principally engaged in the rental and leasing of equipment, the vehicle is exempt from the leasing requirements other than the requirements of 376.11(c).

Trailer-only leases

If the lease is of a trailer only and does not also involve the leasing of a truck or power unit from the lessor, the vehicle is exempt from the leasing requirements other than the requirements of 376.11(c).
