Transportation Operations LINCS Practice Exam

What aspect is not covered by Article 7 of the Uniform Commercial Code?

1. Warehousing

2. Bill-of-lading

3. Titles

4. Hours of Service rules

The correct answer is: Hours of Service rules

Article 7 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) specifically deals with documents of title, which includes aspects such as bill-of-lading and warehousing. This article provides guidelines and regulations on how goods are stored, how ownership is transferred, and the responsibilities of parties involved in the shipment and storage of goods. The mention of "Hours of Service rules" is not covered under Article 7 of the UCC, as these regulations pertain to operational limits for transportation workers, particularly in the trucking industry, and are governed by different regulations set by agencies such as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Therefore, when considering the focus of Article 7 on commercial transactions involving titles and transportation documentation, it is clear that Hours of Service rules lie outside its scope.
