Wouldn't increasing GVW limits also improve TOFC load factor efficiency?

I know that increasing LCV limits might have an impact on short to medium haul TOFC and bi-modal operations, but why would the rail industry automatically oppose an increase in GVW limits for truckers? Aren't heavy haul trucks even more qualified candidates for TOFC than lighter loaded trucks? If so, then a weight based TOFC pricing system could get those trucks off the road while still contributing to the railroads' customer base expansion.
