Determining the desirable maximum limits of dimensions and weights of motor vehicles is approached on the basis of highway cost and the operating cost so far as the factors of economy are concerned. Axle weight, gross vehicle weight, and vehicle length are analyzed on the basis of six highway systems consisting of the rural and urban systems within the Interstate, primary and secondary highway systems. The analysis is based on data on truck weight studies conducted in 46 states; operating cost data obtained from truck fleet operators; and experimental data on pavements and bridges obtained from the comprehensive AASHO road test.
