Turtle, I am surprised at that response because now I am confused

No really Phil, be an editor here.....

Land line article you refer to is this June 25th article about the progress of the measure.The president signed it into law and it was to be used as an exemption for all 50 states but somehow there was a push back from the states and it there was a 'decision' made to allow the states to decide to adopt it - to be exact here is the line the feds used "We determined that (the exemption) does not pre-empt state regulations or compel the states to grant the increased weight tolerance."

Yea right, it screwed the EPA up big time by the way.

So far these states recognizes the exemption; Arkansas, Kansas, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin

and with Nebraska and Missouri in the process of adding it to their law, Alabama and Illinois has yet to recognize it.

Broom, If you need more info, ask I will find and post the links to all that I have when I get a chance.
