If the NTC does endorse increasing mass limits for 2 axle buses, it should extend the discussion to ensure these requirements remain consistant across the heavy vehicle industry, the ATA has said in this submission.
These proposed bus mass increases set precedents that would require the NTC to be far more proactive in considering the trucking industry’s long standing requests for increases to steer axle mass on wide tyres and for ultra-wide single tyres as replacement for dual tyres.
