How do you feel about the 100k weight limit push ?


Jim


Hey Jim, I guess I have mixed feelings about the weight increase proposals, on one hand it just doesn't affect us at all since we are always under 80,000

On the other hand, I can see where it might help productivity some but I would hope that there would be some restrictions on those loads, just like hauling doubles/triples or tanker, you just don't take someone right out of school and throw them in that situation.

Our issues are always dealing with height and length more than weight. We are already MAXED out at 75' long plus usually 4' of rear overhang takes us to 79'.

I can also slide my 5th wheel/trailer back about a foot IF I HAVE TO, not legal in all states but I have done it. That put me at 80' overall length.
