This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year in Florida, thousands of trucks carry millions of tons in freight, connecting Florida’s homes and businesses and serving Florida’s many air and sea ports. Roads and bridges are designed to carry significant loads for many years, but traffic takes its toll, and the larger the vehicle the greater the wear and tear. In Florida, to compensate for these costs, trucking companies pay fees assessed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) based on the class of the truck up to a certain weight. Vehicles that carry weights above a certain threshold must apply for a special permit. These costs must be re-evaluated from time to time to keep pace with maintenance costs. Florida International University researchers assessed the current fee structure for overweight trucks in order to provide guidance that can be used by FDOT to adjust the overweight vehicle fee structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the potential for reserved truck lanes and truckways in Florida in addition to determining how commercial vehicles have been managed within other states. The project specifically examines where exclusive truckways and truck lanes have been evaluated and constructed within the U.S. It summarizes and documents the costs and motivating factors in those cases where exclusive facilities have been constructed in the U.S. The study then evaluates the potential for reserved truck lanes and truckways on the Florida State Highway System by employing a geographic information system (GIS) screening tool and field review of the highways that emerge as having a high potential for use of this strategy. The methodology is presented in detail and the results of the analysis for each corridor that was identified for the potential for exclusive truck lanes are discussed along with an identification of opportunities for consideration. The research also documents and maps abandoned railroad rights of way and relates them to highway corridors where additional exclusive truck facilities may be warranted. The report includes a brief discussion on the current uses of differential speed limits for trucks and automobiles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-haul trucks have been described as sweatshops on wheels. The typical long-haul trucker works the equivalent of two full-time jobs, often for little more than minimum wage. But it wasn’t always this way. Trucking used to be one of the best working-class jobs in the United States. The Big Rig explains how this massive degradation in the quality of work has occurred, and how companies achieve a compliant and dedicated workforce despite it. Drawing on more than 100 in-depth interviews and years of extensive observation, including six months training and working as a long-haul trucker, Viscelli explains in detail how labor is recruited, trained, and used in the industry. He then shows how inexperienced workers are convinced to lease a truck and to work as independent contractors. He explains how deregulation and collective action by employers transformed trucking’s labor markets--once dominated by the largest and most powerful union in US history--into an important example of the costs of contemporary labor markets for workers and the general public.
