The US Department of Energy (DOE) Transportation Management Division (DOE-TMD) 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-TMD has established an exemplary safety record in the transportation of hazardous materials. 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, DOE-TMD has developed this policy and program for a motor carrier evaluation program. It is the intent of DOE-TMD that this Motor Carrier Evaluation Program be implemented at all DOE locations. This program will assist in the evaluation of carriers transporting Highway Route Control Quantities (HRCQ) of radioactive material, because these shipments frequently are in the ''public eye.'' The program will be expanded at a later date to include Truckload (TL) quantity transporters of radioactive materials and waste. The expansion of the program to include motor carriers other than HRCQ radioactive material transporters would be performed in a gradually phased program over a predetermined period of time. 11 refs.
