Question: Are transporters of mobile or modular homes considered drive-away/tow-away operations under Section 395.8 (a)(1)(iii)(A)(2) or (3) and therefore exempt from the ELD rule?

Guidance: No. The transportation of mobile or modular homes does not qualify for an exception under § 395.8(a)(1)(iii)(A)(2) because the vehicle driven in transporting the mobile or modular home is not part of the shipment, nor does the transport qualify under § 395.8(a)(1)(iii)(A)(3) because the shipment is neither a motorhome or recreational vehicle trailer.
