Illinois has adopted Part 393 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) that were in effect on October 1, 2014, with the exceptions of 393.93 for intrastate vehicles manufactured before June 30, 1972, and 393.86 for intrastate vehicles registered as farm trucks under 3-815(c) of the Illinois Vehicle Code.

The adoption includes regulations dealing with projecting loads (393.87) and cargo securement (Part 393, Subpart I).

Part 393 applies to persons employing drivers, drivers, and any self-propelled or towed vehicle used on public highways in interstate and intrastate commerce when the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight, a gross vehicle weight rating, a gross combination weight, or a gross combination weight rating of 10,001 or more pounds, or the vehicle is used in the transportation of hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placarding under the Illinois Hazardous Materials Transportation Act.

In Illinois, a vehicle must not be driven or moved on any highway unless it is constructed or loaded to prevent any of its load from dropping, shifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping.

This requirement does not apply to:

  • The dropping of sand for the purpose of securing traction, or
  • The sprinkling of water or other substances in cleaning or maintaining the roadway.

No person may operate on any highway any vehicle with any load unless the load and any covering are securely fastened to prevent the covering or load from becoming loose, detached, or in any manner a hazard to other users of the highway.

This covering and securement requirement does not apply to:

  • The operation of highway maintenance vehicles engaged in removing snow and ice from the roadway, and
  • Implements of husbandry or other farm vehicles while transporting agricultural products to or from the original place of production.
