State lawmakers debate whether to increase weight limits for trucks FREE NEWSLETTERS March 15, 2021 Indiana lawmakers are debating whether to allow more trucks that are now considered overweight to travel on state roadways. House Bill 1190, authored by Rep. Jim Pressel, R-Rolling Prairie, would increase the maximum weight for trucks from 80,000 pounds to 120,000 pounds. Current state law only allows trucks to be up to 120,000 pounds if they are hauling certain commodities, including metal, paper or agricultural materials. The Senate Homeland Security and Transportation Committee discussed the bill on Tuesday but did not vote on it. Manufacturers and trucking groups are supportive of the legislation, but opponents, including law enforcement agencies, have raised concerns about possible damage to state infrastructure and safety on the roads. Railway groups also are opposed to the bill.
