Currently, trucks hauling certain agricultural goods are allowed to carry up to 80,000 pounds per load, with a five percent variance, giving the trucks an additional 4,000 pounds.

The Senate passed a substitute to HB 189 which would allow timber and agriculture trucks to haul loads up to 88,000 pounds, but only within a 75 mile radius. Further, the Senate substitute gives local law enforcement the authority to cite overweight trucks.
