A concurrent resolution urging the members of Congress to amend federal law to increase the maximum gross weight allowed for motor vehicles operated on the interstate road system in Iowa and bordering states.

This concurrent resolution (SCR 2) asks Congress to change federal law to raise the maximum allowed weight for commercial trucks on Iowa's interstate highways (and those in bordering states) from 80,000 pounds to 96,000 pounds for seven-axle vehicles. It directly affects commercial trucking companies operating in Iowa and neighboring states, aiming to align interstate weight limits with existing state rules for non-interstate roads. The resolution cites that seven-axle trucks can safely carry heavier loads under current state regulations and that inconsistent weight limits cause driver inconvenience. As a symbolic request, it does not change law but urges Congress to amend federal rules to standardize these limits.
