7/1/10-The Joint Committee on Transportation recently voted to advance a bill that would increase the maximum gross vehicle weight limit, bridge formula limit and axle weight limit for large trucks equipped with idle reduction technology.
Sponsored by Rep. Theodore Speliotis, D-Danvers, H3334 would authorize trucks equipped with auxiliary power units to weigh up to an additional 400 pounds.
The bill is awaiting consideration on the House floor. If approved there, it would move to the Senate.
