house 04/17/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update federal regulations to allow certain commercial vehicles carrying dry bulk goods to carry slightly heavier loads on each axle, improving transportation efficiency while maintaining overall safety standards. This change aims to help move goods more effectively without increasing total vehicle weight.

Finally, cutting the red tape to get goods moving faster—less government, more commerce.

More weight on our roads just means more wear and tear on communities already neglected. When will we prioritize people over trucks?

Fine, increase the axle load—but only if infrastructure upgrades aren’t left on the back burner again.

I’m all for progress, but let’s keep an eye on whether these changes save time or just add hidden costs later.

This bill gets freight rolling more efficiently; sounds like a win for our economy and hardworking truckers.

Axle variance sounds fancy, but it’s code for ‘let’s scrap safety and shove profits over public good.’ No thanks.

If the trucks get heavier, will the roads hold or just crack under pressure? Let’s test efficiency without breaking the bank.

Why weigh down business with outdated restrictions? Let the free market haul what it can handle.

Great, let's just pretend climate change is fake by piling more pollutants onto our highways. Efficiency shouldn’t come at the planet's expense.
