If a manufactured housing unit has been prepared for transportation in accordance with 535-X-12T-.06 above and is to be transported by a federal motor carrier who is not an AMHC licensed manufacturer (or under written contract with said manufacturer), an AMHC licensed retailer (or under written contract with said retailer), or an AMHC certified installer, then the certified installer who prepared the unit for transport shall certify that, providing the transporter obeys speed restrictions and exercises ordinary care, the unit (1) has been properly prepared to prevent its components and contents from falling off during transportation; (2) is in such condition that it may safely be transported from its origin site over roadways without damage to the unit in transit and without causing a hazard to the motoring public; and, (3) is unlikely to be damaged in its being delivered to the destination site and disconnected from the delivering power unit. The certified installer shall notify the AMHC by priority mail, fax, or e-mail at least 72 hours before scheduled transport indicating that the home/building meets the three above conditions. An AMHC inspector will inspect the unit prior to its transportation and, if the unit is determined to be fit for transport, issue a decal authorizing its transport. The decal shall be valid for ten (10) days after issuance. The federal motor carrier will affix the decal in a position near the center of the back of the unit so it can be seen by an enforcement official.
