Abstract

Few issues in recent time have tested federal-state relations, strained old friendships, and evoked such a public outcry as those pertaining to the federal law that allows larger trucks to operate on certain highways. This article reviews the history of this issue, discusses the current situation, and looks at what might happen in the years to come, as well as Federal Highway Administration research studies underway that are designed to provide information for many unanswered questions.
