Project Accounting. Costpoint was designed to meet the needs of government contractors for accounting. Specifically, government contractors, who have regulations regarding executive compensation, unallowable costs, and requirements of indirect labor that do not effect non-government contractors.
In allowing the longer truck combinations, what would take two 16.5 m (54 ft) semi-trailer trucks and one 18.75 m (62 ft) truck and trailer to haul on the continent now could be handled by just two 25.25 m trucks â greatly reducing overall costs and emissions.
I just wanted to add some information about the legal weight of a semi truck: In the US: There are one set of rules that are set by the US Federal government and they say that for highways that are federally funded (interstates and some other bigger roads) the minimum weight that states HAVE TO allow is 80,000 lbs.
