Hauling cattle could soon get easier. The House Transportation Committee is looking at a pilot program that would test increased truck weights.
NCBA says it would be a win for truckers, but some are pushing back.
“It would be a state opt-in, so there would be no mandates, but states that wanted to participate certainly could, and I think that would go a really long way to assist us as we move forward in this truck weight space,” said Allison Rivera.
Some groups spoke out against the proposal, saying bigger and heavier does not mean safer. Aside from weights, groups are also asking for lawmakers to address parking issues, saying there is now one safe place to pull over for every 11 trucks on the road.
