Neither the Secretary of Transportation nor the Surface Transportation Board regulates a company's own trucking of its property, if that trucking supports a non-transportation business the company is really in. The same is true for trucking done between companies fully owned by the same parent company.

(a) In general: Neither the Secretary nor the Board regulates trucking of property when: (1) the company doing the transporting is really in some other business, not transportation; and (2) the trucking is part of, and supports, that other main business. (b) Corporate families: (1) Neither the Secretary nor the Board regulates paid trucking of property between members of the same "corporate family." (2) A "corporate family" is a parent company and every subsidiary the parent owns, directly or indirectly, 100 percent of.
