Trucker Load Task Sparks Iowa Permit Debate
Des Moines AP reports electric utilities and heavy equipment haulers met to discuss costs for highway damage from oversized loads under special permits. A proposed rewrite of the permit law was criticized as insufficient, with questions raised about interstate restrictions in Iowa and who would issue permits under a new system. Speaker Edwin Matson noted his Cedar Rapids firm operates nationwide except in Iowa. Senate chairman John Kibbie said the committee would study the issue. The measure, drafted by Harold Schiel, aims to assign permits to the highway commission for primary roads, counties for secondary roads, and cities for city streets, with bonds and specific load limits to cover repair costs.
