A coalition of local officials from across the country are calling on Congress to oppose proposed legislation that will allow an increase in the length and weight of large trucks traveling on commercial highways.

“Longer and heavier trucks would cause significantly more damage to our transportation infrastructure, costing us billions of dollars that local government budgets simply cannot afford, compromising the very routes that American motorists use every day.”

    Pretty sure doubles are legal in most states and triples are legal in a number of states as well. I don’t see any length increase details in the article, though it does mention longer trucks. The only specific mentioned is higher gross weight.
