From page 27...
... • Develop a national envelope vehicle based on the envelope vehicles of the New England Transportation Consortium and SASHTO, and the uniform vehicle of the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association. This vehicle can be a candidate for a national permit program, which should cover a majority of permit vehicles in the country.
