Varying State Laws
Said 10 Delay Defense
Shipping by Truck
Wide Difference in loud
Limits Cited in Report
By Commerce Department
By OLIVER MCKEE

Lack of uniformity in State laws
regulating the weight and size Of
motor trucks is delaying the inter-
state movement of defense materi-
ais Commerce Department report
declared today.
Prepared by Paul T. Truitt, chair
man of the Interdepartmental Com
mittee on Interstate Trade Bar
riers, following a survey by field
officers, the report cites numerous
instances in which defense materi-
ais, shipped by motor truck, have
been delayed en- route because of
the different size and weight re-
quiremnts of the States through
which they passed.
The committee has received many
complaints that the requirements of
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
have slowed up the flow of defense
equipment along the highways.
No complaints as to the District
regulations have so far been re-
ceiyed. it was said today.
Kentucky Is Bottleneck.
The 180OO-pound load limit in
Kentucky is the outstanding bot
tleneck in this field, the report
stated. One company reported ap-
proximately 800 arrest tickets for
overweight trucks in Kentucky.
Time lost ranges from a few
hours to several days." the report
said.
The survey covered the period
from January to August IS. 1941
One trucking company official
pointed out that the Virginia limit
of $4,000 pounds overall gross
weight limit for tractor semi tractor
Is the lowest on the Atlantic Sea-
board.
Trucks loaded legally in any of
the States either to the North or
the South of us are considered il
legally loaded when they enter vir-
ginia," the trucking company off,
cial said. Besides paying a 81
weighing charge, each truck and its
driver is subject to bond and arrest
according to the whims of the
State police, and are fined by various
trial justices in the several coun-
ties, many Of whom, in our opinion,
indicated a degree of intolerance
when fixing fines. Fines have been
as high as s75 with court costs
added.
Wide Variance in Limits.
Trucks are handling defense
materials more and more each day
due to the large amount of defense
activity in Virginia. There is hardly
a commercial truck passing through
our State that does not carry some
defense material, or other Govern
ment freight on its rum"
According to the report, legal
gross weight limits for q single four
wheel truck operated over class A
highways range from 1900 to So
600 pounds. and legal maximums for
six-wheel single tractor-trailer units
vary from $1,000 to A 900 pounds.
One company carrying a large
quantity of freight from the South
to New England has found it neces-
sary to reduce the payload of its
vehicles in order to travel 40 miles
through Delaware, the report dis
closed.
Following an extensive investiga-
tion, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, in report to Congress this
summer, recommended Federal reg
ulation of the sizes and weights of
motor vehicles. Hearings are sched-
uled to start today before the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce
on bill carrying out the COM
missions accommodations.
