• Abstract:
  The efficient movement of freight is a key to the economic success of any state, region or nation. Rising transport ; costs will tend to make products from the region more expensive and less competitive in the national and global ; markets. This trend can be addressed by adding capacity, a very expensive and long-term solution; improving the ; management of the highway and rail systems; and by easing the regulatory burden on carriers. ; Some states have organized themselves into compacts or coalitions to issue permits for these routine loads on a ; regional basis. While permitting is one of the issues often raised by truckers as a costly and frustrating process, a ; number of concerns over exactly how individual state rules can be harmonized to facilitate regional permitting must ; be resolved before multi-state agreements can be put into place. To better understand the nature of regional ; permitting processes, existing compact or agreements must be reviewed and their rules, processes and ; administrative procedures documented. In addition, members of those compacts must be interviewed to measure ; their perceptions of the costs and benefits entailed in regional agreement.
