Michael Michaud (D-Maine) introduced the Safe and Efficient Transportation Act, which would give states the option of increasing the maximum interstate truck weight from 80,000 pounds to 97,000 pounds on a sixth axle. The legislation also would impose a new tax on the heavier trucks, which would be directed to a fund to build and repair bridges.
