Iowa HCR6 urges Congress to amend federal law to increase the maximum gross weight limit for commercial vehicles on interstate roads in Iowa and bordering states. The resolution highlights the current 80,000-pound limit and the exemptions on certain interstate segments. It suggests that vehicles with six or more axles can safely handle higher weights, citing the 96,000-pound limit for such vehicles.
