Federal Register Description/Summary

FMCSA provides notice of the Agency’s new policy concerning enforcement of its household goods (HHG) motor carrier and broker regulations.

A motor carrier or broker found holding a HHG shipment hostage may be subject to suspension of registration for a period of not less than 12 months to not more than 36 months
