Bill > HR2755

This bill addresses vehicle length restrictions for specialized transportation vehicles, specifically lowboy trailers used to transport highway vehicles. The legislation defines a "lowboy trailer" as a semitrailer with a depressed section between the hitch and first rear axle, designed specifically for transporting assembled highway vehicles. The bill amends existing transportation regulations to prohibit states from imposing vehicle length limitations of less than 80 feet on truck tractor-lowboy trailer combinations that meet specific overhang requirements (less than 4 feet at the front and less than 6 feet at the rear). Additionally, the bill provides an exemption for lowboy trailers from rear overhang flag requirements in federal regulations. By standardizing length restrictions, the Lowboy Auto Hauler Fairness Act of 2025 aims to provide more consistent and flexible regulations for auto transportation businesses, potentially reducing barriers to interstate transportation of vehicles and improving efficiency for auto haulers.
