The Coalition Against Bigger Trucks Thanks NAPO

striking the bigger truck provisions from CABT’s Director of Policy.

Today the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks (CABT) recognized NAPO for our support and successful efforts to protect motorists and preserve our highway infrastructure by maintaining sensible limits on the size and weight of trucks.

Police officers are immediate responders to truck accidents and know well the amount of damage a tractor-trailer can do to an automobile and its occupants; especially at high speeds on interstate highways.  Allowing trucks to become longer and heavier will only endanger those who share the roads with them.

Increasing the size or weight of trucks could result in a negative impact on public safety. NAPO is proud to work with the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks to protect the interests of all our citizens as well as our rank-and-file first responders.
