Public Utilities Commission Motor Carrier Industry Information

Commercial transportation companies in Ohio are public utilities under the jurisdiction of the PUCO. The PUCO registers motor carriers and ensures they adhere to state and federal safety standards.

The PUCO Motor Carrier Safety Rules Handbook is a guide to the PUCO and U.S. Department of Transportation regulations applicable to motor carriers operating in Ohio. It is not a substitute for the regulations, nor is it intended to explain the requirements in depth.
