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.

Iowa's SSB 1046 is a concurrent resolution urging Congress to change federal law to raise the maximum weight limit for commercial trucks on interstate roads from 80,000 pounds to 96,000 pounds for seven-axle vehicles. It directly affects trucking operations in Iowa and bordering states by seeking uniform weight limits across interstate highways, replacing inconsistent rules that currently vary by segment. The resolution cites Iowa's existing 96,000-pound limit for seven-axle trucks on non-interstate highways as proof of safety and efficiency, arguing this change would reduce traffic congestion by allowing higher payloads per truck. It does not change current law but formally requests federal action to align interstate weight standards with existing state practices.
