There are two problems with longer, heavier, trucks. The first is safety; it's already dangerous enough driving a double or (as some propose) a triple. Someone made the comment that the truck driver can pretty much act any old way he feels like acting; not so. CDL A license holders accumulate points on their licenses and NEVER lose them. <br /> <br />The second, and more costly part of the legislation has to do with infrastructure. No, not highway infrastructure- the private property infrastructure. Maneuvering a 53 foot trailer is a bear into some of the older docks; alley docks are a nightmare. The major retailers haven't done much in terms of improving their receiving areas or warehouses, and a common problem of today- moving freight on a schedule- is only going to get worse, not better. And, most metro areas don't have the intersections or surface streets to handle a 57 footer... which can get real tough on pedestrians. <br /> <br />Erik
