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.
