Trucker's Ask Congress to Lift Federal Truck Weight Limits
The proposal was made to increase the Federal truck weight limits (currently 80,000 pounds [by contrast a car typically weighs 3-4,000 pounds]) by the "Coalition for Transportation Productivity." I have discussed this before. This proposal will kill Americans. The severity of impacts, the number of rollovers, and the impact on our aging infrastructure will all go up dramatically. THIS IS A BAD AND DANGEROUS PROPOSAL! However it would make trucking companies more money, so if that is your goal, then lifting truck weight limits makes perfect sense.
