FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 24, 2018 CONTACT: Shane Reese, 919.339.3785 Baldwin County Sheriff Huey Mack travels to Washington, DC to tell Congress “No Bigger Trucks” MOBILE, ALABAMA—As Congress considers legislation to increase the size and weight limits for tractor-trailers—including longer double trailer trucks—law enforcement and local government leaders from across the nation are traveling to Capitol Hill to tell Congress they don’t want motorists in their towns to be forced to share the roads with bigger trucks. One of the leaders headed to Washington is Baldwin County Sheriff Huey Mack, who strongly opposes any increases to truck sizes or weights. Mack is a Past President of the Alabama Sheriffs Association, which also opposes these increases. In Washington, Mack plans to meet on Wednesday, May 23, with the members of Alabama’s Congressional delegation, including Senators Richard Shelby and Doug Jones and Congressman Bradley Byrne. “We do not need bigger trucks in Alabama,” said Mack. “Increasing the weight and length of trucks causes additional wear and tear on key safety components of the truck and that means added danger to our motorists” he said. “Members of the Alabama Congressional delegation will play an important role in the outcome of this debate and they need to know that the Alabama Sheriffs Association opposes longer and heavier trucks.” A handful of the country’s largest trucking companies including FedEx and UPS, are lobbying Congress to require every state to allow even longer double-trailer trucks, the so-called “Double 33s,” which are 17 feet longer than today’s 53-foot single-trailer trucks. Another proposal being floated by large shippers in Washington DC is to increase national truck weights from the standard 80,000 pounds to 91,000 pounds—an increase of 5.5 tons. “Everyone knows trucks are critical to our economy, but bigger trucks mean bigger dangers,” said Mack. “The severity of a crash is determined by the velocity and mass of a vehicle. Any increase in crash severity increases the likelihood of injuries becoming more serious, or resulting in fatalities.” Mack knows first hand of how these types of accidents turn out. “Unfortunately, when a truck and a car are involved in an accident, it is the car passenger who will take the worst of it. There is no reason to increase that risk.” Regarding the longer double-trailer trucks, USDOT found that they needed 22 additional feet to stop compared to double-trailer trucks on the road today. The Department also found that double-trailer trucks had 58 percent higher out-of-service violation rates compared to single-trailer trucks. Regarding the heavier trucks, USDOT found in limited state testing that they had significantly higher crash rates: 91,000-pound trucks were 47 percent higher, and 97,000-pound trucks were 99 to 400 percent higher than trucks weighing 80,000 pounds. Heavier trucks also had 18 percent higher brake violation rates. This is a critical finding because the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) published a large-truck study in December of 2016 that found a truck with any out-of-service violation was 362 percent more likely to be involved in a crash. Mack is also concerned with other findings published in USDOT’s Final Report to Congress that point to additional infrastructure damage caused by bigger trucks. “Bigger trucks will cause more damage to Alabama’s infrastructure, especially on our local roads and bridges,” said Mack. “This will have a direct impact on our budgets, including our ability to put more officers on the streets to protect the public. A few extra dollars in the pockets of corporations does not justify this risk.” The American public also opposes increases in truck size or weight. A nationwide survey conducted earlier this year found that 7 out of 10 likely voters oppose heavier and longer trucks on the highway. The Coalition Against Bigger Trucks commissioned the live-operator poll of 800 nationwide respondents, and the survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Mack joins like-minded law enforcement officials from 19 states in making the trip to Washington at the invitation of the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks (CABT), a nonprofit grassroots organization opposed to legislation that would make trucks longer or heavier. ### CABT is a nonprofit grassroots organization with coalitions of approximately 3,000 local supporters in over 30 states. CABT supporters include law enforcement officers, local elected officials, truck drivers, motorists, safety advocates, railroads and trucking companies. To learn more, please visit www.cabt.org.
