For legislation to facilitate cost efficient transportation. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to facilitate cost-efficient transportation by amending a section of Massachusetts law to allow trucks or other motor vehicles in combination with trailers with a total weight equal to or less than 99,000 pounds to travel on public ways with a permit, even if the weight exceeds the current limit of 80,000 pounds. This change will enable the use of heavier but more cost-effective transportation options for businesses and individuals in the state.
