Abstract:

This volume documents the results of an analysis of the impact that various truck size and weight limits have on the carrier equipment selection process as a result of changes, in the design payload and design density of individual trucks. An analysis of actual truck weight data confirmed the hypothesis that design payload approximates the actual payload of fully loaded trucks, and the importance of design density as a determinant of the loaded character of trucks. A relationship between the average load carried on full trucks and the average load carried on partially loaded trucks, and the relative mix of full and partially loaded trucks was developed.
