I have a truck that is not normally used commercially and a local charitable group wants me to take donated clothing and supplies to the impacted area.  What do I need to know?

Be certain to read all of the FAQs for 49 CFR 390.23 to ensure compliance, and consult your State’s commercial vehicle enforcement officers (usually State Police) if in doubt.  It is very strongly recommended that you have a definite trip plan in mind before starting toward the disaster area.  In other words, know what materials are needed and desired, exactly where you will deliver them, what routes are open, etc.  For most major emergencies, websites are deployed to help provide this type of information.
