The recommended Guide has been designed to promote the safety of highway transportation, to promote efficiency and economy in both the intrastate and interstate operation of motor vehicles, and to establish and stabilize the basis for regulation of the many relations between the dimensions and weights of motor vehicles and the strengths and capacities of compatible highways. It is hoped that the states will make their respective codes of motor vehicle laws consistent with this guide to effect uniform motor transportation conditions throughout the nation.
The Guide
provides for regulation of vehicles in regular operation, for regulation
of overweight and oversize vehicles operated by special permit, for issuance
of special permits including assessment of permit fees, and for highway
movements essential to the national defense.
key words: truck permit, truck weight, oversize vehicles, overweight vehicles, uniform standards
