Comments
This bill would allow a tractor-trailer with three separate trailers to travel down Route 29 throughout the state.
This is a terrible idea.
Donald,
Thanks for the post and the opportunity to clarify. This bill is about triple saddle mount vehicles, not triple trailers. This occurs when one truck pulls other trucks in a piggyback fashion.
Federal law already allows this and we simply are amending State Code to mirror Federal law. That's why it is limited to Virginia roads that are part of the National Highway System.
