Abstract

Truck weight and dimension regulations are changing. At the same time, there have been suggestions for new standards for cargo containers and many non-standard containers are now in use. This paper examines how well the truck regulations on the one hand and container sizes on the other mesh in producing vehicles capable of carrying the various actual or proposed containers. The primary focus is on Canada and the United States, however two European regulatory regimes are included for illustrative purposes.
