Truck Load Plains School Bill Passed By Senate
The Texas Senate approved a bill setting a new 38 000 pound maximum gross weight for trucks on roads, 3 000 pounds above the House limit. The measure includes enforcement penalties and limits driving hours, with amendments debated. Senator Rogers Kelley steered the bill through, while Senator Olan R Van Zandt proposed the 38 000 pound cap and Senator Srady Waterwood co authored penalties. The bill preserves lumber weight rules by footage and cites moisture in transit as a factor.
