- Tennessee Trucking: Watch Out for Those GPS Directions to Back Roads!
2015-06-04
You are an over-the-road trucker and you rely on your GPS to get you where you need to go. They
have been one of the most welcome additions to trucking since the CB radio, they have saved many
miles and many hours of drive time, but sometimes the best way to go is not always the GPS way
to go.

Reintroduces Max Truck Weight Cap Bill
2011-02-21
The Coalition for Transportation Productivity has been lobbying hard for the reintroduction of
the Safe & Efficient Transportation Act and they have finally succeeded. We've posted before
on the max weight limit pilot scheme in Vermont and Maine, where truck weights are allowed up to
120,000 pounds (from the 80,000 pound, federally imposed limit).

Running Out on Truck Weight Limit Pilot
2010-12-12
The Obama administration has made trucking efficiency one of the government's priorities. A
pilot program adopted in Maine and Vermont allowed for weight limits to be increased from 80,000
to 100,000 pounds for interstate commerce. The bad news is that the legislation allowing for
this to happen is set to end on December 18th unless the Senate votes to extend the scheme.
