PART 1: INTRODUCTION WARNINGS
(R10/06) Y53-6007 – 5 –
Your Model 387’s glove box also contains a copy of the
Truck Driver’s Handbook, published by the American
Trucking Association. Refer to it for important information
on driving your vehicle. Another place to learn more about
trucking is a local truck driving school. Contact one near
you to find out what kinds of instruction it offers.
Federal and state agencies also have information you can
ask for. The Interstate Commerce Commission can give
you information about regulations governing transporta
-
tion across state lines. And various agencies in state gov-
ernments are sources for regulations that differ from state
to state.
