| 99-33859 | Specialized Hauling Vehicle (SHV) Study | Notice | The FHWA is announcing the initiation of a study required by Congress in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA- 21). Section 1213(f) of the Act directs the Secretary to examine the economic, safety and infrastructure impacts of truck weight standards on specialized hauling vehicles (SHVs). The Secretary is to report the results of the study to Congress and make any recommendations he determines appropriate as a result of the study, by June 9, 2000. SHV's are generally single-unit trucks that have high tare (empty) weights from heavy-duty cargo-carrying bodies and special equipment to help load or unload their cargoes. They often require short wheelbases in order to access and maneuver safely at the types of loading and/or unloading facilities they serve. Because of the short wheelbase, the maximum legal weight for an SHV as determined by the federal bridge formula is often below the vehicle's gross weight limit as determined by individual single and tandem axle limits. SHV's are commonly considered to include: solid waste removal trucks, home fuel oil delivery trucks, construction material dump trucks, and cement transit mixers. Certain tractor-semitrailer dump vehicles hauling bulk construction materials might also be considered SHVs. To gather data for this study, the FHWA requests information from State DOT officials, vehicle manufacturers, SHV operators, and other interested parties having knowledge of the weights and dimensions of the various types of SHVs, how these vehicles are used in various operations (trash removal, fuel oil delivery, hauling of construction/ building materials), and the effects of truck size and weight limits on the productivity, safety and infrastructure impacts of those operations. The Agency is particularly interested in what provisions, if any, each State has excepting or permitting these vehicles to operate at weights above standard weight limits. | 1999-12-30 | 1999 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/12/30/99-33859/specialized-hauling-vehicle-shv-study | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-12-30/pdf/99-33859.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Highway Administration | 492,170 | The FHWA is announcing the initiation of a study required by Congress in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA- 21).
