• Abstract:
  In 2003, the Idaho Legislature passed House Bill 395, which created a pilot project to test the effect of ; increasing the legal truck weights on State Highways. Trucks configured to increase gross vehicle weight ; (GVW) from 105,500 pounds to 129,000 pounds were permitted on 16 specified routes. In 2005 and ; 2007, an additional 19 routes were included for a total of 35 specified routes. At the time the Idaho pilot ; project began, four states that border Idaho (Montana, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming) already permitted ; trucks with gross vehicles weights greater than 105,500 pounds.
