- How AI is used
- List only the persons section 396.9 names for this report: the driver, the motor carrier, and any intermodal equipment provider. Do not add a shipper, a loader, or a consignor.
- What the lawyer must review
- Section 396.9 does not use the name chain of responsibility and does not impose a duty on a shipper or a consignor. It names the driver, who must deliver or transmit the Driver Vehicle Examination Report; the motor carrier; and the intermodal equipment provider, who must examine the report, correct violations in accordance with section 396.11(a)(3), which was not opened, and, within 15 days, certify the corrections, return the form if requested, and keep a copy for 12 months. A special agent of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration performs the inspection. You decide who in this shipment is the carrier or the provider. This list is not the certification. Opinion 512.
