A MESSAGE FROM THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

The Washington State Commercial Vehicle Guide is intended for the professional commercial vehicle operator and others who are concerned about safe truck operations. It has been compiled by Commercial Vehicle Services within the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in cooperation with the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division of the Washington State Patrol (WSP/CVD), Washington State Department of Licensing (WSDOL) Driver and Vehicle Services Divisions, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), in an effort to provide a starting point for information for commercial vehicle operators driving within the State of Washington.

The Washington State Commercial Vehicle Guide is a tool. Carriers are responsible for knowing and complying with all state and federal regulations, whether or not they are discussed in the guide. For enforcement officers, the information in the guide has been condensed and summarized and must not be cited in place of specific federal and state laws. Do not use this guide as the basis for legal interpretations. It cannot, and does not, contain all of the rules and regulations that apply to operating a commercial vehicle safely within the State of Washington. The guide does contain sufficient information for you as a commercial vehicle operator, to confidently and safely operate your commercial vehicle within our state. For more detailed information, we recommend you contact the pertinent agency or consult the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Washington Administrative Code (WAC), or the appropriate hazardous materials regulations.

We welcome your ideas and suggestions on how the Guide can be improved. Please send your comments and ideas to:

INDIVIDUAL’S REQUEST FOR

NATIONAL DRIVER REGISTER FILE CHECK

In accordance with the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-579)

The National Driver Register (NDR) contains only a listing of names and related identification, provided by State driver licensing officials, of those drivers whose driver licenses have been cancelled, denied, revoked, or suspended or who have been convicted of certain serious traffic violations. The NDR does not contain a list of any other drivers. If you have not had a driver license cancelled, denied, revoked, or suspended or have not been convicted of serious traffic violations, you would not be listed in the NDR. Every individual is entitled, however, to request a check of the NDR records to determine whether they appear on the NDR file. The NDR will respond to every valid NDR inquiry.

The record content for those persons who are listed in the NDR files is limited to identification of the state(s) which have taken action to cancel, deny, revoke, or suspend or have records of conviction of serious traffic violations. Any specific information about the driver history, or a request for the entire driver history, may be obtained only from the state(s) where the detailed information is recorded. The state(s) maintaining records are the (only) contacts able to correct records in error, and the NDR will correct its pointer records when so advised by a state indicating that a report previously made to the NDR is in error.

If the NDR has a record on you, the full record will be copied and sent to you including any older records which may have contained a reason for license cancellation, denial, revocation, or suspension. In addition, if such information has been disclosed by the NDR, the recipient of the information will also be identified.

The name and address of the State driver licensing official will be provided for each State listed as having reported information on you to the NDR.

Please type or print plainly. Inquiries that cannot be read cannot be processed.

Introduction

The Washington State Department of Transportation, Department of Licensing, Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, and Washington State Patrol share a set of objectives intended to provide for the safety of the motoring public, protect the public infrastructure, and work with industry to produce safe, efficient, and economical solutions to commercial vehicle transport.

The Washington State Patrol (WSP), through its Commercial Vehicle Division, strives to protect the integrity and safety of the state highways system by promoting public compliance through enforcement, education, and the application of modern technology for enforcement of size, weight, load, and equipment laws mandated by state and federal government. WSP also administers and enforces state laws, administrative code, and federal rules relating to motor vehicle safety. Effective April 25, 1994, WSP adopted Parts 382-383, 390-393, and 395-397 of Chapter 49 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) for commercial motor vehicles.

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) regulates all privately-owned electric, natural gas, water, and telephone companies. UTC also regulates solid waste collection companies, bus companies, household good movers, and railroads. UTC prescribes rules and regulations for household goods carriers and common carriers in the state of Washington. UTC also administers and enforces Washington State laws, administrative code, and federal rules relating to motor vehicle safety. For those carriers subject to Commission regulations, UTC publishes rulebooks containing complete carrier regulations (excluding Federal Regulations). The rulebooks are available, free of charge, by contacting UTC at 360-664-1222. Additional copies may be obtained from UTC upon request, subject to pertinent copying charges. Copies are also available from the Government Printing Office, Seattle, Washington, online at www.utc.wa.gov and numerous other private vendors.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) administers the vehicle size and weight state laws, administrative code, and federal rules. WSDOT, through its Commercial Vehicle Services Office, is authorized, by statute, to issue special permits to operate vehicles of a size or weight greater than the legal maximum on state highways.

Permits are issued through approximately 38 locations statewide (see page 4-27).

The Commercial Vehicle Services Office also offers approved companies the opportunity to self-issue permits through eSNOOPI which is a web-based permitting program.

The Department of Licensing (DOL), as part of their overall responsibilities, administers state laws and administrative code relating to the licensing and regulation of commercial vehicles and their owner/ operators.

Commercial vehicle operations within the state of Washington are based on the following criteria:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations (adopted by statute) RCW Revised Code of Washington (state statutes) WAC Washington Administrative Code (agency rules) http://www.utc.wa.gov

Page 8 Washington State Commercial Vehicle Guide M 30-39.08 2017–2018

Specific booklets and brochures are also available. Some selected titles are:

• Revised Code of Washington (RCW) selected titles

• Washington State Commercial Driver’s Guide (DOL)

• Your Guide to Achieving a Satisfactory Safety Record (UTC), IRP/PRORATE

Informational brochures, in many cases, are available at many of the interstate highway weigh stations.

Chapter 1 Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (Washington State Patrol) Speed Limits

Washington State law establishes a 60 mph basic speed for state highways. Law authorizes both decreases and increases to that basic speed, but the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) must base both on engineering and traffic investigations. State law also mandates a maximum speed limit of 70 mph, with the exception of vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross weight (large trucks) and vehicles in combination (trucks with trailers, for example). Their maximum speed is 60 mph.

Slow Vehicle Rule If you are driving a slow-moving vehicle on a two-lane highway, the slow vehicle rule applies.

If you have five or more vehicles behind you, you must make way at the first available and safe turnout to allow following vehicles to safely pass you. When traveling in convoy with other trucks on two lane roads, you must leave sufficient room between your vehicles to allow other traffic to safely pull back into your lane of traffic.

Crossview Mirrors and Backup Alert

(RCW 46.37.400)

Every truck registered or based in Washington State that is equipped with a cube-style walk-in cargo box, up to 18 feet long, used in the commercial delivery of goods and services, must be equipped with a rear crossview mirror or backup device to alert the driver that a person or object is behind the truck.

Left-Lane Restrictions Any vehicle towing a trailer, or other vehicle or combination over 10,000 pounds, may not be driven in the left-hand lane of limited-access roadways that have three or more lanes in one direction, excluding HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes. This includes commercial trucks, recreational vehicles, vehicles towing boats, and any car or truck towing a trailer. Commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds GVW are prohibited from HOV lanes, even with the minimum number of occupants specified on signs.

This law affects any limited-access roadway that has three or more general- purpose lanes in one direction. The law primarily affects I-5, portions of I-90 and I-405 in King and Snohomish Counties, and portions of I-90 in Spokane. It does not apply to HOV lanes, or to drivers of affected vehicles who are preparing to turn left at an intersection, or exit onto a private road or driveway. WSDOT will have signs posted in those areas where the law is in affect. Failure to obey the law in areas where signs are posted will result in a citation by the Washington State Patrol (WSP).

Load Securement Information For specific load securement laws, contact the WSP Commercial Vehicle Division at 360-596-3800.

Preventing Escape of Load – All loads and any required covering must be secured. All vehicles loaded with dirt, sand, or gravel, which do not maintain at least six (6) inches of freeboard must have a secured cover.

Any vehicle with deposits of mud, rock, or other debris on the vehicle’s body, fenders, frame, undercarriage, wheels, or tires shall be cleaned of such material before the operation of the vehicle on a paved public highway. A broom and shovel should be carried in the truck to accomplish this cleaning.

If the load is a type of material that will be blown from the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, then that type of load shall be covered to prevent this from occurring.

The six (6) inches of freeboard shall be maintained, if the load is not covered, after the load has had an opportunity to settle. See RCW 46.61.655.

Tire Chain Requirements (WAC 204-24-050 and 468-38-095)

From November 1 to April 1 of each year on the following routes, all vehicles and combinations of vehicles over 10,000 pounds shall carry sufficient tire chains to meet the requirements of this chapter.

• I-90 between North Bend (MP 32) and Ellensburg (MP 101)

• I-82 between Ellensburg Exit 3 (MP 3) and Selah Exit 26 (MP 26)

• SR 97 between (MP 145) and Junction SR 2

• SR 2 between Dryden (MP 108) and Index (MP 36)

• SR 12 between Packwood (MP 135) and Naches (MP 187)

• SR 97 between Junction SR 14 (MP 4) Columbia River and Toppenish (MP 59)

• SR 410 from Enumclaw to Naches

• SR 20 between Tonasket (MP 262) and Kettle Falls (MP 342)

• SR 155 between Omak (MP 79) and Nespelem (MP 45)

• SR 970 between (MP 0) and (MP 10)

• SR 14 (MP 18) to Junction 97 (MP 102)

• SR 542 Mt. Baker Highway between (MP 22.91) and (MP 57.26)

Vehicles making local deliveries, as indicated on bills of lading, and not crossing the mountain pass are exempt from this requirement if operating outside of a chain-required area.

All vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight shall carry a minimum of two extra chains for use in the event that road conditions require the use of more chains or in the event that chains in use are broken or otherwise made useless. Approved chains for vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight shall have at least two side chains to which are attached sufficient cross chains of hardened metal so that at least one cross chain is in contact with the road surface at all times. Plastic chains shall not be allowed. The State Patrol may approve other devices as chains if the devices are equivalent to regular chains in their performance (cable chains allowable).

Please use caution during the winter months while you are applying or removing chains from your vehicle. It is unlawful for you to apply or remove chains in the traveled portion of the roadway. Most passes have sufficient room for you to pull off the traveled portion of the road and chain up safely.

The Washington State Department of Transportation or Washington State Patrol may prohibit any vehicle from entering a chain/approved traction device control area when it is determined that the vehicle will experience difficulty in safely traveling the area.

Accident Reporting If you are involved in an accident, stop immediately. You are legally required to remain at the scene of the accident, give aid to the injured if aid is needed or requested, and provide information to law officers as required. You are no longer legally required to file a Civilian Collision Report unless the investigating officer advises you otherwise at the scene of the accident. You do however; have the option of filing a Civilian Collision Report. If you elect to file the report, you have four days to file the report with the local city, county or state police authority.

Vehicle Size and Weight, Credentials, and Safety The Commercial Vehicle Division of the Washington State Patrol (WSP) has the responsibility to enforce state law relative to the operation of commercial vehicles, including: size, weight, licensing, hazardous materials, equipment inspection, and the inspection of equipment at accident scenes involving commercial vehicles.

WSP has vehicle size and weight enforcement jurisdiction over all highways in the state, including those in urban areas. WSP operates five ports of entry with fixed scales, 49 other fixed scale sites, four plug and run sites, and seven other weigh station locations with wheel load scales. In addition, 11 of the fixed scale sites are equipped with high-speed main line weigh-in-motion (WIM) and Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) technology used for sorting and bypassing safer and legal vehicles.

The term CVISN (www.wsdot.wa.gov/commercialvehicle) refers to the collection of information and communication systems owned and operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), states, motor carriers, and other stakeholders. Integral parts to making CVISN work are the use of the transponder and the license plate reader.
