 In this final segment of the series Intrastate Operating Authority in Virginia; the remaining two classifications of Property Carriers and Brokers will be observed in this segment. As a reminder, the classification of Passenger Carriers was covered in Part 2 last week. In observing Property Carriers and Brokers, the "sub-classifications" under each classification will be mentioned as well as a brief description of each. An analysis of Property Carriers and Brokers is as follows: Property Carriers are comprised of three types; household goods carriers, bulk property carriers and property carriers and are described respectfully: 1. Household Goods Carrier: is when an operator is transporting goods and or property with the purpose of the goods to be used in dwelling or living necessities. The householder, owner, and or factory/store who arrange for the transporting of the goods usually have made payment arrangements accordingly. 2. Bulk Property Carrier: is an operator that transports goods that are non- gaseous and or non-liquid. Bulk property is classified as goods that aren't used in containers; and thus can be removed by single handling removing the items. These items can be scooped up and removed in a piece by piece fashion. Also, those who are tow drivers/operate wreckers for-hire fall under the classification of bulk property carrier as well. 3. Property Carrier: is an operator that transports only property; no bulk property is permitted. Household goods can be transported, but only if and if the household goods are less than 31 miles from where the pickup occurred. Brokers are comprised of two types; Passenger Broker for Transportation and Property Broker for Transportation 1. Passenger Broker for Transportation: is a broker who arranges or negotiates passenger transport on behalf of authorized motor carriers under the Virginia Motor Carrier Services approval. Accordingly, the broker is not a motor carrier itself, isn't an agent or an employee of a motor carrier. 2. Property Broker for Transportation: is a broker who arranges or negotiates property transport on behalf of authorized motor carriers under the Virginia Motor Carrier Services approval. Accordingly, the broker is not a motor carrier itself, isn't an agent or an employee of a motor carrier.

 In this segment of the series Intrastate Operating Authority in Virginia, the operating authority classfication type Passenger Carriers will be the focal point. The Passenger Carrier operating authority type is the largest of the three (Passenger, Broker and Property Carrier) classifications. Accordingly, there are eight "sub-classifications" under the Passenger Carrier operating authority classification that will be observed in this segment. Please note that as there are compliances that must be met with the the three operating authority types; there are compliances that must be met with the "sub-classifications" as well. The eight "sub-classifications" under the Passenger Carrier type of operating authority and their descriptions are: 1. Common Carrier (Regular Route): is when an operator transports passengers/the general public for charge, using a destinated/planned or regular route of destination. 2. Common Carrier (Irregular Route): is when an operator transports passengers/the general public for charge, using a undestinated/unplanned or irregular route of destination. 3. Non-Proift/Tax Exempt Passenger Carrier: is when a non profit operator transports members (disabled, elderly, and or low-income) of its organization by a minibus. The organization can not charge its members a fee for transporting them. 4. Employee Hauler Carrier: is when an operator transports employees of a business to and from their place of work (ONLY). 5. Taxicab: is when an operator transports no more than six passengers in a vehicle that is designed to carry only the designated amount (6) passengers in that particular vehicle-excluding the driver. 6. Sight Seeing Carrier: is when an operator transports the general public/passengers to and from points of "sight seeing" activity with the interest of the general public/passengers in mind; while also encouraging tourism. 7. Contract Passenger Carrier: is an operator who transports a group of passengers under a contract of activity and other terms, while charging a group fee. 8. Contract Bus Carrier: is an operator who transports a group of passengers (using a charter bus only) while establishing a contract of activity and other terms and charges a group fee as well. The above "sub-classifications" under the Passenger Carrier type provides only a glimpse of the type of service that each "sub-classifcation" provides.
