(a) Double-trailer truck
combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks must complete all trips using the
National Network except as follows:
1. They may
use the New Jersey Access Network to reach a terminal or the National Network by the
direct route. Upon completing a trip, the truck must return to the National Network
in a manner consistent with reaching its next terminal, unless continued use of the
New Jersey Access Network provides the direct route to the truck's next terminal.
For the purposes of this subsection, backtracking to reach the National Network in a
manner inconsistent with accessing the next terminal shall not be required, as long
as the trip complies with the route priorities established by this
chapter;
2. A 102-inch-wide standard
truck may use local unrestricted roadways only as necessary to:
i. Access a terminal located on a local
unrestricted roadway, but must return to the National Network or New Jersey Access
Network by the direct route unless continued use of the local unrestricted roadway
provides the direct route to the next terminal located on a local unrestricted
roadway; or
ii. Reach the New Jersey
Access Network from the National Network by the direct route or to access the
National Network from the New Jersey Access Network by the direct route;
and
3. Double-trailer truck
combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks shall not use a roadway listed at
N.J.A.C. 16:32 Appendices A and B, unless that roadway provides the only access to a
terminal, or facilities for food, fuel, repairs, and rest.
(b) When accessing terminals off the National
Network, double-trailer truck combinations and 102-inch-wide standard trucks may use
acceptable forms of documentation to demonstrate that they are traveling in a manner
consistent with the provisions of this chapter, which may include, but are not
limited to:
1. Bill of lading;
2. Delivery receipt;
3. Shipping order;
4. Manifest;
5. Log book;
6. A map, written description, computer generated
map, or other depiction of the route, with roadway mileage tallies;
7. Other documentation particular to that
industry; or
8. Where a driver does not
have written documentation due to the nature of the business, such as an
unanticipated pick-up, compliance with the provisions of this chapter may be
documented by contact with a dispatcher for confirmation of routing.
(c) Unless otherwise prohibited as
provided at (a) above and pursuant to
23 CFR
658.19, 102 -inchwide standard trucks in the
following categories are permitted free access to points of loading and unloading:
1. Household goods carriers;
