Effective July 28, dromedary equipped tractor-trailer combinations transporting Class 1 explosives and/or security related munitions will be classified as special equipment by the Federal Highway Administration.
The designation, requested by the U.S. Army, will require states to allow operation of these vehicles on the National Network and to provide reasonable access between the National Network and service facilities and terminals. Maximum overall length for these vehicles is 75 feet. Notice of the final rule, including discussion, was published in the June 26 Federal Register which can be found on the Internet at www.gpoaccess.gov.
