This volume presents reported truck and rail operating data and analytical methods developed to estimate changes in transportation prices attributable to specific sets of truck size and weight limits. A system of cost based 'rates' (or average shipment charges) is developed for differentiating among specific truck and rail transport services by allocating full economic cost to appropriate vehicle payloads. The affects of various truck size and weight limits are examined in terms of changes in the competitive relationships among various highway and rail carrier services.
