| Description: | When one company owns or operates the means of locomotion of a vehicle and a different company owns or operates the cargo-containing transport vehicle (e.g., railroad car or truck trailer), both parties are potentially subject to transporter requirements (i.e., both meet the definition of transporter). EPA recommends identifying on the manifest only the transporter company that is primarily responsible for the movement of waste during that transportation segment. The company primarily responsible will be the one performing the transporter functions, such as signing and dating the manifest received from the generator. |
