Once again OOIDA did not provide a link to a group they're reporting on - in this case, a "lobbying" group - so here it is: http://www.aset-safety.org/index-ie.html. That's ASET or Americans for Safe and Efficient Transportation. From their website and (5/12/08) PR release: "Setting the stage for what could be the most significant change in trucking industry operations since deregulation, the ATA and a coalition of trucking companies and shippers want to raise the maximum allowed weight of trucks on the country's highways by 21 percent to 97,000 pounds." This is a terrible idea! These people are pinheads. We all need to make sure this NEVER happens. And, trailer lengths should not exceed 53 feet, flatbeds 48 feet.
