Allows vehicles to exceed weight limits by up to 10% in certain circumstances
SB 942 allows trucks transporting construction materials (like asphalt or concrete) or raw materials (like sand or gravel) to exceed standard weight limits by up to 10% when moving directly between production sites and construction projects or material-processing facilities. This applies only if vehicles are properly maintained, do not exceed the manufacturer's weight rating, and avoid the interstate highway system, bridges with lower weight limits, or speeds over 30 mph on bridges with posted limits. The bill directly affects construction companies and trucking firms hauling these materials within Missouri. It does not change general weight regulations for other freight or vehicles.
