Bigger Trucks Can Cause Bigger Crashes
As a vehicle's weight increases, its stopping distance increases as well. The concern with allowing heavier trucks to travel in Texas is that the increased stopping distance, along with bulkier loads, will cause more frequent and more serious crashes. Already, a crash with a commercial truck in Keller is serious and safety experts worry that the new rules will increase the number of crashes involving 18 wheelers in Texas.

If the weight limit raise is approved, the heavier trucks will be made to travel less on major interstates and more on state highways. Studies have shown that increased large truck traffic on these smaller roads considerably increases road damage. Are taxpayers prepared to pay to fix the road damage done by large trucks?
