Enough! Stop More Giant Truck-Trailers on Your Highways
2015-07-07 20:57:58| Trucking - Topix.net
Are you one of the millions of people in the United States who drives a car every day? How do you react to the trucking industry, whose lobbyists with ample campaign cash swarm over Congress, pressing for a rider to a transportation appropriations bill to be passed to overturn laws in 39 states that currently ban unsafe double 33 foot tractor-trailer combinations? What is your opinion of another provision in this bill to permanently increase truck driver working and driving hours up to 82 hours per week, abolishing the "weekend off" for two nights of restorative rest? Or what is your view of various exemptions that allow current federal truck weight limits of 80,000 lbs.

Trucking industry-backed measure would permit longer tandem trucks on US highways
2015-06-25 20:43:36| Trucking - Topix.net
A trucking industry-backed bid to allow longer tandem trucks on the nation's highways has been approved by a Senate committee over opposition from safety advocates and most Democrats - and the panel's GOP chairman. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved the change, sought by the American Trucking Associations and large haulers such as FedEx Corp., which would increase the permitted length of trailers hauled in tandem from 28 to 33 feet.
