R G Hileman of the Iowa Motor Truck Association says no weight increase would accompany 65 foot twin trailers if allowed on Iowa highways. The proposal, before the Iowa Legislature, would keep weight limits the same as for 55 foot semitrailers and 6 foot twins. Twins offer greater cargo capacity, flexibility, and city delivery efficiency, with tests showing safer load distribution and only slight passing time changes. Approval by AASHO, the U S Bureau of Public Roads, and Iowa agencies supports the plan.
