New bill could result in raising tractor-trailer limits

February 7, 2012

February 7, 2012

The Safe and Efficient Trasportation Act could result in trucks being able to carry loads weighing up to 48 and a half tons without an overweight permit as long as the truck has six axles.

Most tractor-trailers currently have fix axles.

The bill was recently introduced by a Maine representative, however it has been delayed while highway infrastructure and safety are researched.

According to the bill, interstate and road improvement money could also be acquired if passed.

The current 80,000-pound weight limit has been in place since 1982.

WCS Permits & Pilot Cars is North America’s oversize load permit authority.
