Allowing certain
commercial vehicles with a 7-axle configuration to travel at a gross vehicle
weight of 113,800 pounds could result in damage to the infrastructure leading
to an increase in costs for repairing the affected road or bridge. Any truck allowed to exceed gross vehicle
weight limits would need to obtain a credential from the Secretary of
State. The Commissioner of
Transportation would determine the fee by rule and it would be set to cover
administrative costs, compliance monitoring and the additional cost of
highway damage resulting from this allowance. |
