America is growing, and so are our shipping needs.

That's why the Coalition for Transportation Productivity (CTP) is asking Congress to raise the interstate weight limit for six-axle trucks.

Heavier - not bigger - trucks will allow us to safely:

  • Meet demand with fewer trucks.
  • Reduce our carbon footprint.
  • Improve shipping productivity.

Ask Congress to Support Vehicle Weight Limit Reform.

Congress should take a wise and necessary step by passing the Safe and Efficient Transportation Act (H.R. 1799 / S. 3705) giving states the option to allow six-axle tractor trailers to carry up to 97,000 pounds on interstate highways.

These six-axle trucks meet the same safety standards as lighter trucks. Allowing these trucks on interstates would make our highways safer, protect the environment and strengthen the economy.
