There are some exceptions to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations. For example, if the transportation vehicle is a school bus, the regulations do not apply. The regulations also do not apply to vehicles which are involved in taxi cab services. The regulations also do not apply to instances where there might be a hotel that is transporting its guests from one location to another location. They may not also apply in the event that the cargo that’s being transported is that of agricultural products.
It just depends on the particular situation. The regulations, likewise, do not apply to the transportation of livestock.
