Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to weight and tire load restrictions for the operation of a vehicle transporting ready-mixed concrete on a public highway.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Texas Transportation Code regulations specifically for ready-mixed concrete trucks operating on public highways by establishing more detailed weight and tire load restrictions. The bill expands the existing weight limitations to include four key requirements: (1) the tandem axle weight or axle group weight cannot exceed 46,000 pounds, (2) the single axle weight cannot exceed 23,000 pounds, (3) the truck's gross weight must not be heavier than either 69,000 pounds or the maximum allowable overall gross weight calculated using a specific state formula, and (4) the truck's tires must not be loaded beyond their rated capacity. These changes aim to ensure safer transportation of ready-mixed concrete by providing more precise weight guidelines and preventing potential damage to highways and vehicles. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas legislature, otherwise it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
