Subject | 53' Storage Trailer Smartway Tire Requirement |
Comment | Under the current proposal storage trailers that are being hauled empty to a location to be used as product storage trailers are required to have "Low-rolling resistance tires". Would it be possible to add a "Storage Trailer" category to the submitted trailer fleet list. Any trailer found to be on the road with freight would be out of compliance and a citation could be issued. If the trailer is empty and in route to the storage destination or back to "local-haul base" the trailer would be considered in compliance. Our business supplies several 53' trailers for storage purposes. The cost of changing all the tires for compliance would be cost prohibitive while the fuel savings would be minimal. Not all storage trailers will be hauled by a designated "Local Haul Tractor" and therefore under the current (Smartway Rule) proposal would be out of compliance. Thank you |
