A coalition of local officials from across the country are calling on Congress to oppose proposed legislation that will allow an increase in the length and weight of large trucks traveling on commercial highways.
…
“Longer and heavier trucks would cause significantly more damage to our transportation infrastructure, costing us billions of dollars that local government budgets simply cannot afford, compromising the very routes that American motorists use every day.”
Ahh man, I hope this gets passed through. The next step would be to restrict the speed of trucks on the highway and prevent trucks overtaking trucks.
After this I hope to see a greater implementation of cargo trains for large distances between distribution hubs, with small cargo trucks for the final leg.
