FMCSA approves flashing brake light for Gemini
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently granted an exemption to Gemini Motor Transport that will allow the Oklahoma-based carrier to operate a flashing brake light system.
Gemini is a for-hire tanker carrier with more than 1,000 trucks. It's the primary carrier for Love's Trave;l Stops & Country Stores.
FMCSA published a notice of the exemption last week. The exemption, which allows the company to operate commercial motor vehicles equipped with a system manufactured by Intellistop, will run through May 12, 2029.
The Intellistop module is designed to pulse the required rear clearance, identification and brake lamps from a lower-level lighting intensity to a higher-level lighting intensity four times in two seconds when the brakes are applied and then return the lights to a steady-burning state while the brakes remain engaged.
