Private carriers

Specific regulations exist for the transport of asbestos materials by highway [53]. Asbestos must be loaded, handled, and unloaded using procedures that minimize occupational exposure to airborne asbestos particles released in association with transportation. Any asbestos contamination of transport vehicles also must be removed using such procedures (49 CFR 177.844). Additional motor carrier s safely regulations apply to common, contract, and private carriers of property by motor vehicle, as defined under these regulations (49 CFR Parts 390-397). 

Gas pipelines are private carriers for their customers, without common carriage or third party access (TPA) obligations (1906). 

A common carrier, or TPA provider, holds itself ready to serve the general public to the limit of the facilities that the carrier is prepared to offer. By contrast, the private carrier transports only a narrowly defined clientele - it discriminates in favor of those with contracts, affording a secondary service to those without. Gas pipelines in Europe are directed, by Article 18 of the Gas Directive, to be TPA providers. Gas pipelines in the US escaped that responsibility in 1906. When Congress passed legislation in 1938, it rejected common carriage (after having considered it) and made pipeline private carriers, who would not be obliged to carry any gas for any customer without a multi-year pipeline company contract.
