(Washington, DC) – The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) today applauds the adoption of new lugger truck container securement standards by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). Developed in conjunction with ReMA and other recycling industry groups, these first of their kind standards meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) regulations 49CFR 393.102(c): What are the minimum performance criteria for cargo securement devices and systems? (c) Equivalent means of securement, while simplifying cargo securement procedures for operators.
“Over the past few years, ReMA has worked tirelessly with our members to develop this important standard for lugger truck container securement,” said ReMA Senior Safety Director Commodor Hall. “We are grateful to the FMCSA and the CVSA for working with us to provide these critical safety standards that meet the needs of recyclers.”
The newly adopted standards provide equivalent means to other standards for lugger truck cargo securement. Most notably, the standards allow an operator to secure a container with less effort. Doing so saves a company time and money and increases truck utilization and driver productivity.
