TRUCK AND BUS SIZES AND WEIGHTS. 1980 EDITION

Maximum legal lengths, widths, and heights are shown for buses, trucks, semitrailers, trailers, and combinations as defined by each state for various single units and combinations. Summaries are presented of individual state legislation (passed, failed, pending) considered in 1979 which would change legal size and weight limits. During that year, 31 states considered changing their laws. Maximum weight and width limits are given for the Interstate highway system. Comments and exceptions regarding size and weight limits are provided on a state-by-state basis.
