This study will examine the institutional and financial structure of Georgia's truck weighing strategy. With declining state budgets, the staff working at the state's weigh stations has been reduced, resulting in fewer operating hours. The impact of this reduced operation on the number of overweight trucks operating on the road without permits will be examined in this research. This study will examine the recent history of truck weighing efforts in the United States and the corresponding impact on permit revenues. Recommendations will be made that in essence makes a business case for improving the operation of the weigh-in-motion stations.
