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.
The semi-truck without the trailer weighs around 20,000 lbs. An empty trailer weighs around 12,000 lbs, but it depends on what type of trailer it is. There are hundreds of different configurations.
