SWIFT Contract Number 96622

Project Name STATEWIDE SPECIALIZED HAULING VEHICLES SHV LOAD RA

Project Number (if applicable) 1000545

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: Short wheelbase trucks are a major component of the US transportation system. Specialized Hauling Vehicles (SHV) include
dump trucks, ready-mix concrete trucks, construction vehicles, solid-waste trucks and other hauling vehicles. The trucking
industry has in recent years introduced SHVs with closely-spaced multiple axles that make it possible for these short wheelbase
trucks to carry the maximum load of up to nearly 80,000 lbs and still meet the Federal Bridge Formula B and Minnesota laws. In
recognition that the SHV may be overstressing bridges, the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) developed new posting loads for single unit truck SHVs that meet the Federal Bridge Formula B. To comply with
FHWA’s load rating/posting requirement, consultant assistance was needed to provide load rating analysis and load posting
recommendations for structures on the local system. The Contract was necessary due to the volume of bridges that required
load rating
