As Hurricane Isaias approaches, LMTA wants to remind motor carriers of important restrictions regarding emergency weight allowances on Interstate highways.
At the time of this update, no Presidential emergency declaration has been issued for Hurricane Isaias. Without the necessary federal authorization, states cannot independently waive applicable federal weight restrictions on Interstate highways.
Motor carriers should continue operating within existing federal Interstate weight limits unless appropriate authorization is issued.
LMTA will continue monitoring developments and share updates with members as additional information becomes available.
