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.
