This bill allows for a 5 percent weight variance for tow trucks carrying disabled, damaged or wrecked commercial vehicles within 100 miles of the initial emergency tow pick up location. Said variance would require the purchase of a $500 annual permit from the DOT. Tow trucks could not exceed a single axle weight of 21,000 pounds, a load on any tandem axle exceeding 40,000 pounds, or a total load length exceeding 125 feet. |
