Relating to weight and tire load restrictions for the operation of a vehicle transporting ready-mixed concrete on a public highway.
SB 1394 updates weight restrictions specifically for ready-mixed concrete trucks operating on Texas public highways. It sets a 46,000-pound limit for tandem axle groups, a 23,000-pound limit for single axles, and a gross weight limit of either 69,000 pounds or the maximum allowed by another formula - whichever is greater. The bill also requires that tire load ratings not be exceeded during operation. These changes directly affect concrete truck operators and their compliance with highway weight regulations.
