The US Department of Energy (DOE) Transportation Management Program (DOE-TMP) has the overall responsibility to provide a well-managed transportation program for the safe, efficient, and economical transportation of DOE-owned material. In the performance of these duties, the DOE-TMP has established an exemplary safety record in the transportation of hazardous materials. The DOE recognizes that its responsibility for hazardous material does not end when the shipments leave the DOE sites. A special partnership is needed between the DOE, the DOE contractors, and the carriers chosen to transport hazardous materials. As in any partnership, it is critical that DOE know essential information about its partner in this joint venture. In fulfillment of its responsibility for the safe transportation of radioactive materials as well as other hazardous commodities and wastes routinely shipped from many DOE locations nationwide, the DOE-TMP has developed this policy for a motor carrier evaluation program. It is the intent of the DOE-TMP that this Motor Carrier Evaluation Program be implemented at all DOE locations. This program will assist in the evaluation of carriers transporting Highway Route Controlled Quantities (HRCQ) of radioactive material, because these shipments frequently are in the ''public eye.'' The program will also evaluate truckload (TL) quantity transporters of radioactive materials and chemical wastes. The expansion of the program to include motor carriers transporting less-than-truckload (LTL) quantities of these materials will be implemented through a gradually phased in program during future years. 11 refs.
