Allows commercial motor vehicles carrying defined “dry bulk goods” to exceed the usual maximum axle or axle-group weight limit by up to 10% (i.e., carry 110% of the normal axle limit) provided the vehicle still complies with the statutory overall gross vehicle weight limit. It defines “dry bulk goods” and creates a special axle-weight rule limited to vehicles transporting those goods.
The change is narrowly focused on axle-weight enforcement for certain freight loads; it affects truck operators, freight carriers, and state/local enforcement agencies and could change trip economics and enforcement practices without changing the maximum total vehicle weight allowed.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
