While controlling truck weights will not eliminate highway deteri­ oration, applying Feaeral weight limits to all trucks on all Federal-aid highways could re­ duce it even further. National statistics show that at least 22 per­ cent of all loaded tractor-trailers exceed State weight limits. This percentage is even higher for other types of large trucks. (Seep.11.) In 1956, Congress established weight limits for interstate highways as a precondition for Federal highway funaing, but these limits ao not apply to noninterstate Federal-aid high­ ways--95 percent of the Federal-aia system. Even for interstate highways, higher weights are often allowea. The Federal investment in the Nation's nighway system, over $96 billion s~nc~ 1956, must be protectea.

  • Brake Adjuster's Handbook
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA HANDBOOK FOR BRAKE ADJUSTERS May 2015 BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR BRAKE ADJUSTERS’ HANDBOOK FOREWORD This Handbook is intended to serve as a reference for Official Brake Adjusting Stations and as study material for licensed brake adjusters and persons desiring to be licensed as adjusters. See the applicable Candidate Handbook for further information. This handbook includes a short history of the development of automotive braking equipment, and the procedures for licensing of Official Brake Adjusting Stations and Official Brake Adjusters. In addition to the information contained in this Handbook, persons desiring to be licensed as adjusters must possess a knowledge of vehicle braking systems, adjustment techniques and repair procedures sufficient to ensure that all work is performed correctly and with due regard for the safety of the motoring public. This handbook will not supply all the information needed to pass a licensing exam. No attempt has been made to relate the information contained herein to the specific design of a particular manufacturer. Accordingly, each official brake station must maintain as references the current service manuals and technical instructions appropriate to the types and designs of brake systems serviced, inspected and repaired by the brake station. Installation, repair and adjustment of motor vehicle brake equipment shall be performed in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and the current instructions and specifications of the manufacturer. Periodically, supplemental bulletins may be distributed by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR or Bureau) containing information regarding changes in laws, regulations or technical procedures concerning the inspection, servicing, repair and adjustment of vehicle braking equipment.

Abstract The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calls for harmonization of truck standards among the trade partners. Combined with the desire of U.S. industry to reduce freight costs, this aspect of NAFTA has stimulated interest in how liberalization of truck size and weight limits in the U.S. would affect highway infrastructure and safety. This report distills the findings from the extensive literature on this topic, to which a major recent addition was the Comprehensive Truck Size and Weight study prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
