Fluid Milk Products Overweight Permits, Maximum Weight (1383XD) - Transportation, Department of

This bill increases the maximum gross weight limit for vehicles transporting fluid milk products under annual permits from 96,000 pounds to 130,000 pounds. It directly affects dairy transport companies operating on primary roads and city road extensions in Iowa. The key change authorizes the Iowa Department of Transportation to issue permits for heavier vehicles while maintaining the existing 20,000-pound-per-axle limit. The policy applies to all permits issued on or after the effective date, including active permits in effect at that time.
