TRUCKS SAFETY REGULATIONS * USA: Longer and heavy trucks plus young drivers: Alloweds?

* DC - Trucking fights rev up as House preps highway bill

 -- Fights over a host of proposed changes to truck safety regulations are heating up as the House is preparing to move a long-term highway funding bill next week... Truck companies are pushing saetyCongress to increase a current limit of 28-foot trailers on trucks that carry two loads to rigs that are 33 feet long apiece in an upcoming highway funding bill. They are also asking lawmakers to increase the cap on the weight of trucks from 80,000 to 91,000 pounds... Other proposals include a move to lower the minimum age of trucks drivers from 21 years of age to 18 and tweaks to trucker work scheduling rules... Safety groups are opposing all the moves, arguing that longer and heavier trucks and young drivers who are allowed to work more hours will make U.S. roads less safe... The House is expected to vote on the highway bill as early as Tuesday once it clears the Rules Committee on Monday...
