全国粮食和饲料协会（NGFA）和60多个国家农业团体今天敦促每个国家在其管辖范围内的高速公路上增加卡车重量限制，以“最低统一重量”为88,000磅。

“Increased truck weights improve the food and agriculture industry’s efficiency and capacity to deliver essential food, feed and key ingredients which sustain our food supply chain,” the groups said in a March 30 letter to all state governors, lieutenant governors, transportation directors and agriculture commissioners. “This will become more critical if the availability of truck drivers is impacted adversely by COVID-19.”

上周联邦“冠状病毒援助和救济”和“经济安全法”明确澄清了美国交通局，允许各国在Covid-19紧急情况下增加其司法管辖区内的高速公路和联邦公路高速公路的卡车重量限制。

“建立最小卡车重量限制88,000磅，确保全国各地的最低统一重量存在，并有助于保护遵守在州立国界境内受阻的普遍增加的基本出口，”这封信票据。
