Washing Away Obsolete 'Water Carrier' Mentions from Trucking Rules
Published Date: 5/30/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
FMCSA is cleaning up its rules by removing old mentions of “water carriers” since they don’t really regulate them unless they also run motor vehicles. This update won’t cost anyone money or change how things work but makes the rules clearer and easier to understand. If you’re involved in motor carrier operations, nothing changes for you—just less confusing paperwork!
