Lets logging trucks carry heavier loads on Interstate highways under specific conditions.
The Safe Routes Act of 2025 would let certain logging trucks carry heavier loads on Interstate highways. However, these trucks would still need to follow state weight rules and travel no more than 150 air miles on the Interstate.
Today, federal law sets specific weight limits for all trucks, including logging vehicles, on Interstate highways. Logging trucks must follow these federal limits. After this bill, the federal government would waive these weight limits for certain logging trucks. These trucks would be considered 'covered logging vehicles' if they are transporting raw forest products. They must travel no more than 150 air miles on the Interstate and meet the state's legal weight limits and vehicle setups for these products within that state. This waiver would only apply to state weight limits that were already in effect when the bill becomes law.
