      abstract = {Motor carriers face a number of regulations in carrying on  their business.  Trucks are typically regulated as to their  length, width, height, load (in terms of gross vehicle  weight), and axle weight.  The purpose of these regulations  is to promote public safety and protect the quality of road  surfaces.  Highway regulations affecting motor carriers are  primarily a state-level responsibility in the United  States.  Minnesota has its own set of truck size and weight  regulations as do neighboring states and Canadian  provinces.  Because states set their own regulations on  truck size and weight, the commercial trucking industry  measures the appropriateness of Minnesota regulations to a  large extent based on their congruence with those in  adjacent states.  The object of this study is to determine  the extent to which major shippers, the clients of  commercial motor carriers, feel constrained by truck size  and weight regulations in Minnesota and whether their needs  are being met.},
