Summary

Measured from the Texas-Arkansas border.

The bill widens the zone where the state can let permitted heavy trucks hauling intermodal shipping containers travel, from 5 miles to 30 miles from the Texas-Arkansas border. It affects trucking operators who hold this permit and the state highway routes in larger counties near that border. On the ground, permitted container trucks can run on state highways up to 30 miles into Texas instead of 5, starting September 1, 2025.
