Q: What does this mean?
All intrastate for hire carriers are to obtain intrastate operating authority, or CVED
Authority, prior to operating a vehicle on any public roadway in Michigan.
A:
This statement means that any transportation company operating within the state of Michigan (in other words, an intrastate carrier) and providing services for hire must secure appropriate operating authority from the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division (CVED) before using any vehicle on public roads in Michigan.
"Intrastate operating authority" refers to the permission or license required by a state for carriers that operate solely within that state's borders, as opposed to interstate carriers that operate across state lines. This requirement is in place to ensure that carriers comply with state-specific regulations regarding safety, insurance, and other operational standards.
The CVED Authority is a specific form of this operating authority in Michigan, overseen by the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division. This division is responsible for ensuring that commercial vehicles, including for-hire carriers, adhere to safety regulations and other legal requirements.
If you are involved in or planning to start a for-hire transportation business within Michigan, it's crucial to obtain this authority to operate legally. Failure to do so could result in penalties, fines, or other legal actions. If you're unsure about the process or requirements, it would be prudent to seek guidance or consult with legal advisors who have experience in transportation law and regulations in Michigan. Compliance with these regulations is essential for the lawful and safe operation of your business.
A: For-hire motor carriers within Michigan need prior authority under the CVED to operate on Michigan public roads. A Michigan attorney could advise more definitively on the operation of vehicles within the state. Good luck
