Abstract:

This study applied a systematic investigation of the range of benefits and costs to the U.S. economy and society as a whole, as well as to individual interest groups, resulting from a set of alternative changes to current Federal limits on truck size and weight. The ten alternatives, or "scenarios," that were examined consist of a Base Case and five categories of changes in current Federal truck size and weight limits. A broad range of increases and decreases in limits are covered. The results of this analysis show that transport cost savings (from improved truck productivity) could overwhelm the associated costs of increased highway and bridge wear and tear and truck accident costs. The analysis also shows relatively little diversion of traffic from rail to truck.
