Guide for Uniform Laws and Regulations Governing Truck Size and Weight Among the WASHTO States

The commercial users of our roads have pointed out that the interstate transportation of goods on the highways is becoming snarled and sluggish in the face of proliferation of individual state laws and regulations. The Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (WASHTO) has set forth a process to bring commercial vehicle uniformity to the West and to attack unnecessary regulatory roadblocks that stand in the way of increased productivity. This publication recommends minimum rather than maximum standards. It is hoped that the industry can begin to develop an assurance that certain sized vehicles will be able to easily move from state to state without erosion of the delicate balance the states and industry have reached in regulation of large vehicles within each of the states.
