The Once of Defense Transporta-
ton today revised its orders gov
erning operations of long-haul
trucks. fixed 40-mile-an-hour
speed limit for them, and cancelled
a provision requiring trucks to be
loaded to at least IS per cent OF
capacity on return trips.
Under the revisions, effective Au-
gust l. all trucks affected must carry
a capacity load over "a considerable
portion" of the trip out or the trip
back. They may carry less than a
capacity load. or travel empty, only
if the driver, after exercising due
diligence" is unable to comply with
the load requirements.
ODT said that due diligence"
would include checking with infor-
nation Offices which are being es-
tablished In various cities to keep
common carriers in touch with
freight movement requirements, or
checking with other carriers indi-
vidually in an effort to obtain a
load. If no load can be found, the
truck owner must offer his vehicle
for lease to another carrier capable
of using it.
