West Virginia proposes steep fines for overweight coal trucks
A state task force recommends fines based on cents per pound for overweight coal trucks, with penalties from 40 dollars for 4 000 pounds over to 18 000 dollars for over 40 000 pounds. Offenses rise on second infractions. Current fines range from 20 dollars to 1600 dollars. The plan adds enforcement authority for the Public Service Commission and calls for more inspections. A proposed daily logbook exemption would jeopardize a 1.2 million federal grant for truck safety inspections, limiting intrastate coal tracking. House leaders and opponents weigh tweaks as hearings continue.
