relating to axle weight limitations for certain vehicles transporting aggregates.
Caption from analyzed text · version I.
Total weight limit stays. The axles just carry more.
This bill lets trucks hauling aggregates such as gravel, sand and crushed stone run with up to 15 percent more weight on each axle than the normal state limit. It touches aggregate haulers and the Texas roads they drive on. The trucks' total gross weight still cannot go over the limit set for the road, but their individual axles can carry more than other trucks may.
