Title: Designation of Dromedary-Equipped Truck Tractor-Semitrailers as Specialized Equipment 
Abstract: This rulemaking amends FHWA's truck size and weight regulations to designate dromedary-equipped truck tractor-semitrailers, when hauling munitions for the Department of Defense (DOD), as specialized equipment. No State would be able to limit this combination to less than 75 feet. This in response to a petition from the Department of Defense indicating that the change would help expedite the hauling of munitions.
