North Dakota has adopted Part 393 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), and amendments as they occur.
The adoption includes regulations dealing with projecting loads (393.87) and cargo securement (Part 393, Subpart I).
Part 393 applies to intrastate commercial motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight, gross vehicle weight rating, gross combination weight, and gross combination weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more, or a vehicle used to transport hazardous materials requiring a placard.
In North Dakota, no vehicle may be driven or moved on any highway unless it is constructed or loaded to prevent its contents from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping.
In addition, 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 requirement does not apply to the following:
- The dropping of sand for the purpose of securing traction, or
- The sprinkling of water or other substances for cleaning or maintaining the roadway.
