How long must licensees maintain records and interstate bills of lading?

Licensees are required to maintain records and interstate bills of lading for a minimum of 90 days to ensure accountability and traceability in their operations. This duration is crucial for regulatory compliance, allowing for proper auditing and verification of shipping practices. The 90-day requirement reflects a balance between practicality for the licensees and the need for oversight in transportation activities. Keeping these records helps ensure that all transactions are documented and can be referenced if questions arise regarding shipping practices or claims. This standard aligns with typical industry practices, which often aim to provide enough time to resolve any disputes or inquiries related to transportation and logistics operations.
