An Act relative to loading and alighting vehicles from car carriers on public ways
This bill prohibits auto transporters (including "low-boy" carriers) from loading or unloading vehicles on public roads in Massachusetts when delivering to dealers. It directly affects commercial vehicle transporters who deliver cars to dealerships within the state. The key provision bans these activities on public ways, with violations resulting in revocation of their transporter licenses. The law aims to improve road safety by preventing vehicles from being loaded or unloaded while traffic is moving.
