Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Over forty case studies are presented to demonstrate the controlling influence of the various provincial vehicle weight and dimension regulations on the composition of truck fleets in Canada. An analysis of the case studies explores the impacts of single and multiple regulatory regimes; the direct and indirect influence of u.s. Regulations; the effects of regulatory changes; enforcement practices; and the impacts of such factors such as freight, route, terminal and shipper characteristics and fleet composition. For the final report of the study see IRRD 807130.
