Warren Defends Truck Firm From Oversized Load Violations
Des Moines UPI Warren says newsmen tell only half the story on his Waterloo trucking firm facing 23 oversized load violations from 4,400 shipments. He argues 15 cases predate a 60 foot rule and violations are less than 0.2 percent of total loads. Warren denies pressuring lawmakers or the Highway Commission and notes his company has never had an oversized load accident. He accuses opponents of condemning the industry to win votes and cites scrutiny at weigh stations.
