Coalition Against Bigger Trucks

Lawmakers are being pushed to consider loosening weight limits for trucks as Congress begins work on the next highway bill.

Legislation touted for supply chain emergencies could be used by carriers to haul heavier loads indefinitely, according to lobby group.

A study commissioned by the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks suggests that modifying federal rules to allow for heavier and longer trucks could result in diverting roughly 25% of U.S. rail traffic to trucks.

Opponents of increasing size standards for trucks fear permanent changes post-pandemic.
