What’s in it
AI summary The Iowa Department of Transportation and local authorities could allow certain vehicles to carry heavier loads than currently allowed. When there is a special or emergency situation, these officials can issue permits that let trucks exceed standard weight limits on their axles. These permits would also allow for different ways of calculating weight when using certain equipment like dolly axles.1
