New Chart Available For iCommercual
Vehicles Regarding Maximum Loads
The Ontario Department of
Transport is making available a
simplified reference table show-
ing the maximum loads that com-
mercial vehicles can haul under
new weight laws recently passed
by the Provincial Legislature.
The table, which will be int-
roduced by regulation under the
Highway Traffic Act, will list
the maximum load for every
known vehicle operating in Ontar-
io. This means a trucker will be
able to check his vehicle on the
master list and quickly deter-
mine the manimum load it can
carry to axle loading.
The Department has mailed a
questionnaire to every registered
trucker in Ontario requesting de-
tails on his vehicles so that these
calculations can be made. Truck -
New Policy On
Driver Education
At Huron Schools
Policy regarding driver educat-
ion in Huron County secondary
schools was agreed upon last Tues-
day evening at the Board of Educ-
ation meeting in Clinton.
The following recommendations
were adopted by the board: (a)
That the rate charged to students
be set at $15; (b) That instruction-
al time be standard at a minimum
of 25 hours classroom instruction,
eight hours in car instruction and
18 hours observation in vehicle;
(c) That the rates paid for class-
room instruction remain as they
are at present with Clinton and
Seaforth $6 per hour and Exeter,
Goderich and Wingham at $7 per
hour; (d) That the rates paid for
"in car" instruction be set at a
standard $5 per hour.
Board members learned the
variance in the cost of classroom
instruction stems from the fact
that different systems are employ-
ed at the schools for driver educ-
ation. In Clinton and Seaforth, a
professional driver education in-
structor handles the entire prog- ,
_ ram; in the remaining schools,
the "in car" instruction and the
classroom instruction is given by
different people.
As well, classes in Clinton and
Seaforth for driver education are
much larger than in any of the
other centres.
ers are urged to return the quest-
ionnaires to the Department
promptly. Those that reply will
be notified of the maximum loads
for their vehicles.
In the past, the maximum load
a truck could carry was calculated
by gross weight loading. This
system will be phased out during
the next five years and replaced
with a system of axle weight load-
ing.
The new axle loading law was
introduced by the Department of
Transport after an exhaustive study
In essence, it incorporates the use
of the Bridge Formula - a comp-
lex engineering process - which
will enable truckers to increase
the basic allowable single axle
loading from 18, 000 pounds to
20, 000 pounds,
For the first time, the Bridge
Formula provides a rational way
to balance the apparently conflict-
ing interests of the trucking indust-
ry and the highway authorities.
It shows how the truck owner can
be allowed to carry the highest
possible payload without shorten-
ing the service lives of the pave-
ments and bridges in the Province.
The new axle loading law,
which takes the form of an amend-
ment to the Highway Traffic Act,
will allow the vehicle owner a
maximum of five years in which
to register his vehicle under the
Bridge Formula, This means that
during the five years starting with
1971 registrations a trucker must
decide whether he wants to cont-
inue with the existing gross weight
loading laws or change to the axle
loading laws.
