Truck weight hike blamed for road danger by AAA
Harrisburg UPI The Pennsylvania Motor Federation calls for tighter trucking regulation if the proposed weight increase becomes law. Charles E. Pugh, the federation's general manager, criticizes the bill pushing three axle rigs from 60 000 to 73 000 pounds as a hazard to motorists and a threat to the state's road system. He argues adequate highway transport is essential but not achieved by heavier trucks, warning of property and lives losses and higher highway rebuilding costs that could negate economic gains.
