I believe that Port of Baltimore used to have a designated route for
overweight trucks. Perhaps check with Planning Director there.

Check with Port of Singapore
They have been monitoring their containers and haulers for 15+ years so that they get rid of a lot of queqing at the
gate and Just-In-Time delivery
At HK Maersk had a system without much year at all with telemetric queqing of trucks for direct load dock to ship -
like the rail systems sometime - 2M teus for one berth and a 12 storey truck park

From monitoring this thread thus far, it would be straight forward to track designated route compliance
with permitted overweight drays (or any other permitted vehicle) by requiring said vehicles to be
equipped with telemetry and having the per vehicle telemetry bread crumb routinely reported. This
technique allows designated route compliance, as well as nuances (time of day restrictions, etc) to be
monitored. It can also be done in an anonymous manner (e.g. fleet owner not explicitly identified) or on
an identified per truck basis, depending upon sensitivity of the stakeholders to privacy issues. The Port
of Long Beach already requires telemetry for drays in and out of there.
If the permitted vehicle is regularly dead heading back to pick up another load (typical dray activity),
the pattern of "full" verses probable empty trips can be accounted for. More complicated scenarios can be
accounted for too, but they generally require close planning prior to implementation. Beyond compliance
monitoring, the aggregate data can also be used to monitor general freight flows, idling issues and
related planning support activities. If anyone is interested in learning more details for leveraging
commercial vehicle telemetry in this or similar deployments (such as border travel time monitoring),
please contact me directly.

Subject: port-area overweight truck corridor programs
Hello,
I am trying to identify the various working models for a port area overweight
truck corridor program. These programs recognize the unique need for
overweight cargo drays in the vicinity of ports and use ideas such as corridor
designation and permits to manage this activity. The programs I have
identified to date are Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, CA, and Tacoma,
WA. These all follow a similar model so I am hoping this post will lead to
other kinds of working models.
Thank you very much!
