“As a law enforcement professional going on 40 years and in my role as president of the Iowa State Troopers Association, I have seen too many truck crashes to think that heavier and longer trucks are somehow a good idea.

I currently patrol Interstate-80, from the Mississippi River over to Iowa City, and anyone who travels that stretch of interstate knows how much truck traffic there is, and the dangers that come along with it. Heavier and longer trucks endanger the motoring public, as well as my fellow troopers and first responders across the state.”
