The Case Against Bigger Trucks

Highway Safety
Heavier truck “pilot projects” only gather data when trucks crash, turning motorists into guinea pigs.

Infrastructure Damage
America’s roads and bridges are crumbling, and bigger trucks will only make it worse.

Environment
Bigger trucks dramatically increase greenhouse gas emissions.

Traffic Congestion
Heavier truck weight limits would lead to a net increase of approximately 8 million more trucks on the highway, a 56 percent increase.
