NJ FMCSR Adoption

Updates to New Jersey Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (N.J.A.C. 13.60)


In order to maintain compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations, the ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½app has adopted the (FMCSR) under N.J.A.C. 13:60 for intrastate commercial motor vehicles 10,001 pounds and greater.

These updated regulations are now effect.

This adoption includes revisions to the definition of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operating on highways in the ÐÇ¿ÕÎÞÏÞ´«Ã½app. While the vast majority of CMVs operating in New Jersey will be unaffected by this change, a subset of vehicles that were previously not included in the definition of a CMV in New Jersey will now be considered such. As a result, these vehicles will now be subject to FMCSR as adopted in N.J.A.C. 13:60.


Definition of Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) (49 CFR § 390.5)

The following table outlines the changes in the new adoption for each vehicle type:

Type 1: Vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or gross combination weight rating (GCWR), or gross vehicle weight (GVW), or gross combination weight (GCW) of 10,001 pounds or more, whichever is greater;
