Fact Sheet: The Economics Of 33′ Double Combination Trailers

The Economic Impact Of Allowing Twin 33s On Interstate Highways:

• • Public Benefits: Fewer trucks on the road reduces engine emissions, road wear per ton of freight, and highway congestion.

• • Shipper Benefits: More freight per truck means lower costs for carriers and lower prices for consumers.

• • Minimal Industry Disruption: Allowing Twin 33s nationwide would affect less than 2% of the truckload industry.

• • Safety Improvements: Fewer trucks on the road reduces safety risks.

• Increased Efficiency: Twin 33s can move the same amount of freight with 18% fewer trips.
