Truck Size and WeightMAP-21 Comprehensive Truck Size and Weight Limits StudyThe Study will evaluate and compare the differences between trucks loaded at or below current Federal truck size and weight limits to those operating in excess of those limits. Read more about the Study and the Project Milestones and Schedule at http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/ Federal interest in preserving highways goes back to the enactment of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which authorized the Interstate and Defense Highway System. To preserve our Nation's infrastructure and to keep trucks and buses moving efficiently, states must ensure that commercial motor vehicles comply with federal size and weight standards. FHWA is responsible for certifying state compliance with Federal standards. This site provides a ready source of information on Federal standards and guidelines, state enforcement activities, reporting requirements, and contacts.
