The report identifies some of the potential issues in the use of larger trucks on North Carolina highways. A survey was conducted of motor carriers who operate in the State and who were likely candidates for the use of the larger configurations. These motor carriers provided a range of information, including their current usage rates and their best projections of future usage of the larger trucks. This latter information was used to arrive at projections of truck usage on specific roadways for use by the State Division of Highways in roadway maintenance/upgrading planning. However, this information does not appear in the report because it was company specific and therefore confidential. Consequently, the information in the report includes only the other types of information that were provided.
