As part and parcel of this lobbying effort, both AAR and CABT will naturally claim that the trucking industry also supports stricter GVW limits. This refutes Bert's claim that the railroad industry had nothing to do with efforts to enact stricter GVW limits. <br /> <br />However, the ATA refutes this false claim by the AAR and CABT, since the ATA has come out in favor of higher GVW limits. This refutes Bert's subsequent claim that the trucking industry supports stricter GVW limits. <br /> <br />And in conformity with predictable double digit IQ responses, Tom then goes on to claim circular reasoning on my part. <br /> <br />Tom, it is the AAR, not myself, who claims trucking industry support for stricter GVW limits. The ATA site refutes this, ergo it is the AAR that has published a false premise. I am aware of this tendency to falsify information on the part of the AAR, I have commented on it several times in the past. <br /> <br />Let's make a deal: We'll let the AAR speak for the rail industry, and we'll let the ATA speak for the trucking industry. Okay?
