Law

This bill would tell the Transportation Department to waive federal truck weight limits for certain logging trucks on Interstates.
It applies to trucks carrying raw or unfinished forest products like logs, pulpwood, biomass, or wood chips.
The waiver would only cover trips up to 150 miles from where the wood starts to a storage or processing facility.
Logging trucks would still have to follow the state’s legal weight limits and truck setup rules where they are operating.
States couldn’t raise their weight limits later and automatically get a bigger federal waiver; it would lock in the state tolerance that exists when the law takes effect.
