EDI 286 Commercial Vehicle Credentials

What is an EDI 286 Commercial Vehicle Credentials Document?

An EDI 286 facilitates the process of application for the credentials required by law to operate commercial vehicles and enables authorities to provide approval to applicants and other authorized entities.  

The EDI 286 serves the following purposes: 

• It allows drivers, owners, and lessees of commercial vehicles to apply for credentials to operate these vehicles legally.  
• It allows authorities to send the requested credentials to the applicants and other entities electronically.

EDI 286 falls under the category of X12I Transportation transaction set. Drivers, owners, and lessees use this transaction set to electronically apply for the credentials they need to legally operate their commercial vehicles. Since it is a bi-lateral transaction, it lets the issuing authorities to send these credentials to the applicants and other authorized entities, providing them vital access information to conduct their operations.
