Truck weight limits

Arkansas highway officials are watching efforts at the federal level to increase weight limits on roads -- a move that could further deteriorate our roads and bridges here in Arkansas. Our last increase for the truck weight limit was 1983, when it went from 73,280 pounds to 80,000 pounds. Many in the industry are now seeking to have triple trailer configuration allowed in order to carry up to an additional 17,000 pounds on four-lane interstate highways.
