DICTIONARY of TRUCKING TERMS (Australian and North American Terms) DICTIONARY OF TRUCKING TERMS (Australian and North American Terms) - Symbols and Numbers - 2AB-QUAD - Adapted by inventive operators to comply with the current overall length limit of 53.5-metres (175-feet) and exploit tri-axle load limits of up to 23.5- tonnes, the 2AB Quad is a four-trailer combination made up of two A-trailers (regular semi-trailers) coupled via a dolly converter and, in turn, hooked up to a B-double set. These combinations are extensively used by fuel giants Shell and BP on long-distance runs between Adelaide and Darwin and can gross approximately 194-tonnes when used in conjunction with a tri-drive tractor unit thereby employing eight tri-axle groups each capable of accommodating 23.5- tonnes. There is some debate as to whether the two A-trailers should be at the front end of the combination – ahead of the B-double, at the rear end – behind it, or even at either end with the B-double sandwiched in between. It appears that operators have their own ideas as to which set-up handles best and enjoys the best road manners when running at the supposed legal maximum speed of 90- kph or 56-miles per hour.

The maximum GCM varies depending on the axle configuration. See also, Type 2 Road Train . An AAB-Quad road train AAB-Quad (tanker) ABB-QUAD - A prime mover towing a single semi-trailer and a set of B-triple trailers, connected by a converter dolly.

AB-TRIPLE - ¹A vehicle combination consisting of a prime mover and semi-trailer combination connected, by a converter dolly (with no more than 3 axles), to two semi-trailers which are connected by a fifth wheel coupling. ²A prime mover towing a single semi-trailer and a set of B-double trailers, connected by a converter dolly. AB-triples have a maximum length of 36.5 meters. ³Another configuration that has gained wide acceptance with operators, particularly those engaged in bulk haulage, is the AB-triple. This three-trailer combination is made up of a regular semi-trailer (the A-trailer) coupled via a dolly converter to a two- trailer B-double set. Axle groups may be tandems or tri-axle and this factor dictates the maximum gross weight of the combination. Again maximum overall length is 36.5-metres. See also, Type 1 Road Train .

  • Kiribati Ports Authority
    KIRIBATI PORTS AUTHORITY Dues, Fees & Tariff Betio & Kiritimati Ports November, 2018 PREAMBLE This tariff is designed to provide complete details on dues, fees and rates that KPA applies in accordance to Sections under Part V of the KPA Act 1999. This tariff is the outcome of a thorough review by Management and Board of Directors. The new changes to certain rates particularly to charges to ship-owners are introduced to focus mainly on simplifying charges to ship- owners. In other words, KPA invoice to ship-owners would reflect charges mainly on fixed cost and exclude variable costs such as overtime, overseas bonuses and food rations. Such variable costs would no longer be charged to ship-owners but are to be controlled by KPA from the 25% increase over the stevedoring rates and other certain rates. Security and environmental fees are no longer to be charged separately on the invoice as they are also incorporated in the said 25% increase. The new tariff, on the other hand, is envisaged to assist ship-owners very much in planning ahead their cost in visiting KPA as they would no longer be charged of the variable costs. This new tariff is designed to be effective in November 2018 until it is reviewed again when the need arise. KPA remains to have the authority to review the tariff at any time in association with the approval of the Hon. Minister of Ministry of Information, Communications, Transport and Tourism Development.

The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail service in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River. The Task Force seeks to accomplish this objective through bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings where any issue that hinders or can assist in the restoration of competitive rail service is discussed openly.

This document highlights many important events that have occurred in the evolution of railroad transportation in Michigan. This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current. Consequently, some 28 years later, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has updated the original document and is placing it on our website for all to access. As you journey through this history of railroading in Michigan, may you find the experience both entertaining and beneficial. MDOT is certainly proud of Michigan’s railroad heritage.

  • Proper Car Placement in Trains
    Proper Car Placement in Trains Presented by DuPage Division Midwest Region NMRA . Presented at Badgerland Express Madison, Wisconsin JJam Introduction Some of you may wonder why it is important to know that cars can be placed in the wrong order in a train. And, why does this even matter on a model railroad? On a real railroad improper car placement can cause embarrassing situations such as this .............. (Picture a train wreck.) Proper car placement also insures the general safety of.... The merchandise being transported The safety of the train crews handling the cars and the train The safety of the community thru which these cars may move. Some of these rules can be utilized to make the operation of your models more prototypical. The last reason I can think of for knowing this valuable information is that you can use it to heckle another modeler about his operation. ("Do you know that that tank car is in the wrong place in that train?") How do you know how to properly place cars in a train? There are a whole bunch of rulebooks. charts and other documents that trainmen must be familiar with when switching and operating trains. Every railroad has a "Book of Rules" which is the basis of this information. Superceding the "Book of Rules" is the Time Table and Special Instructions which is specific to a certain portion of the railroad. This is superceded by the System and General Bulletins. The most specific information is found in the Train Messages which are issued with every work order. Here is the hierarchy triangle: SYSTEM AND GENERAL BULLETINS TIME TABLE AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL OPERATING RULES (BOOK) lets start with a few general rules to set the stage: Rule A Employees whose duties are governed by these rule must provide themselves with a copy of these rules...
