3.6.1 Safety Fitness Standard for Motor Carriers (385.5)

To meet FMCSA’s safety fitness standard 49 CFR 385.5, a motor carrier must demonstrate that it has adequate and effective safety management controls in place to ensure compliance with the FMCSRs and HMRs that apply to its operation. For intrastate motor carriers subject to the hazardous materials safety permit requirements of Subpart E of 49 CFR 385, the motor carrier must meet the equivalent State requirements.
