| Abstract | This report presents results of a comprehensive examination of issues surrounding current Federal truck size and weight (TS&W) limits and potential impacts of changes to those limits. This is the first comprehensive TS&W study by the Department since 1981, although the Department, the Transportation Research Board (TRB), and others have conducted a number of studies since 1981 on various aspects of TS&W regulation. Those studies have highlighted the diversity of opinions about the need for changes in Federal TS&W regulations among States, shippers, carriers, and various other interested groups. The report is provided in four volumes. Volume I, Summary Report, synthesizes the findings presented in Volume II and Volume III. |
