Possible higher truck weight limits concern state officials

Possible higher truck weight limits concern state officials

LITTLE ROCK - Facing a $19 billion shortfall for state highways over the next decade, Arkansas highway officials are carefully monitoring trucking industry lobbyists' efforts to get Congress to increase weight limits on roads.

The industry is lobbying federal lawmakers to increase the 80,000-pound maximum weight on interstate highways to meet greater demand for over-the-road transport. Some lawmakers say there are too many state-level exemptions and too little federal enforcement for the weight standard established 26 years ago to be effective.

I wonder if anyone has considered that A/L premiums might increase due to the hazards of increasing weight or running triples on the interstates?
