DOT votes 5-2 against 65 foot trucks in Iowa
The Iowa Transportation Commission rejected a 65 foot double bottom truck proposal by a 5 to 2 vote in a stormy session. The panel previously endorsed longer trucks, but that vote depended on legislative bans and reclassification actions. A court ruling kept twin trailers at 60 feet and the commission also asked Governor to withdraw an appeal and reconsider its authority. The article also lists legislative leadership, committee chairs, and new Iowa Democratic Party chair Ed Campbell.
