No Long Trucks In Iowa Endorsed By AAA Motor Club
The AAA Motor Club of Iowa applauds the Iowa Department of Transportation vote denying 65 foot double bottom trucks in the state. The club lauds the majority action as life saving and cost reducing, urges lawmakers to remove rule making authority from DOT, and says the appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court should be dropped as no longer needed. The group notes ongoing opposition to long trucks and calls the action a victory for Iowans.

Other rulings cited slow leaks from overhauls and unclear causal links as limits to liability, all discussed in a public service feature from the ABA and ISBA.
