Appendix A: Truck Safety Standards Issued by RMV

Truck Safety Standards The RMV enacted new regulations (540 CMR 4.10 to 4.13) that apply to certain registered motor vehicles, trailers, semi-trailers and semi-trailer units classified as class 3 or above by the Federal Highway Administration, with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating of 10,001 pounds or more (“Heavy Vehicles”). Heavy Vehicles that are (1) leased or purchased by the Commonwealth on or after January 1, 2023, or (2) operated under contracts with the Commonwealth executed on or after January 1, 2025, that require the use of Heavy Vehicles in writing or by necessary implication, must be equipped with the following truck safety devices:

• Lateral protective devices (LPD), commonly called “Side Guards,”

• Convex mirrors,

• Crossover mirrors, and

• Back-up cameras.

For snow and ice management and removal services and towing services, these regulations apply to Heavy Vehicles operated under contracts with the Commonwealth that were executed on or after July 1, 2025. Heavy Vehicles affected by the RMV regulations must be certified as compliant with these requirements beginning 12/31/2025 using the RMV portal. Please refer to MassDOT’s guidance here for information about updates on truck safety devices, the certification and waiver process, and guidance for contractors. Further guidance will soon be available on the OSD website.
