Indiana readies law regulating coils loads

Truckers hauling coils solely in Indiana will soon be responsible for showing further proof they are qualified for the job.

The Indiana Department of Revenue is shooting for a July 1 start date for intrastate carriers and truckers to have completed the states new certification standard for hauling metal coils. State lawmakers approved a bill early this year that requires trucking companies involved in transporting metal coils that originate and terminate in Indiana to use truck drivers trained and certified in properly securing these loads.

Modeled after an Alabama law, The Hoosier version prohibits affected truck drivers from hauling one or more metal coils individually, or grouped together, weighing at least 5,000 pounds unless they are certified in proper load securement. Collin Davis, an attorney with the Revenue Department, said Indiana is working with the same Texas-based company that provides online training for Alabama truckers. Once training is complete, Indiana truckers can print their certificates to show law enforcement.
