Federal Truck Size and Weight Limits

Federal Truck Size and Weight Limits refer to regulations that determine the maximum dimensions and weight of trucks operating on highways in the United States. These limits aim to ensure road safety, protect infrastructure, and manage traffic. For instance, most trucks cannot exceed 80,000 pounds in total weight and must adhere to specific height and width measurements. States can enforce their own rules, but they must align with federal standards. These regulations help maintain the balance between efficient freight movement and the preservation of roadways and bridges.
