SB 1524 would allow tractor -trailer trucks to carry containers weighing up to 100,000 pounds, a significant increase over the current limit of 80,000 pounds. Heavier trucks would cause significant damage to our local roadways and SB 1524 provides the City with no financial relief to help offset the increased maintenance costs. The City of Beaumont is opposed to SB 1524 or any similar legislation that would lead to increased tractor -trailer truck weights or that would lead to increased deterioration of local roadways.
