Walker County s Whitfield Speaks Against Higher Load Limits For Loggers; Citing Damage To Roads Tuesday, February 23, 2021
Walker County Board of Commissioners Chairman Shannon Whitfield was scheduled to testify Tuesday before the Georgia Senate Transportation Committee at a hearing on SB 118. It is a proposal to allow vehicles hauling forest products to reach a total gross weight of up to 100,000 pounds on six axles. Current law allows forest products to be hauled on five axles up to 80,000 pounds with a five percent variance.
Chairman Whitfield said he will be speaking in opposition to this proposal, as increased weight limits lead to a rapid decline of local roads and bridges.
