What should converter dollies built after March 1, 1998 have?

Converter dollies that were built after March 1, 1998, are required to have anti-lock braking systems (ABS). This requirement enhances safety by preventing wheel lockup during braking, which improves the driver's ability to maintain control of the vehicle in emergency situations or during slippery conditions. Anti-lock brakes allow for better steering control while braking and reduce the stopping distance, making it a critical safety feature for any trailer or dolly used in commercial transportation.

The other options, such as enhanced lighting or stronger suspension, may improve functionality or visibility but are not mandated for converter dollies built after the specified date. Additionally, while safety chains are important for securing trailers, they are not specifically a requirement that was updated in the same context as anti-lock brakes for dollies made after March 1998. The introduction of ABS on converter dollies reflects ongoing efforts to improve safety standards in commercial driving environments.
