Why would they? If we're talking weight, there are already weight limits, so I don't see how they'd change anything there.

Heavier trucks mean either less cargo or more load per axle. Less cargo means more trucks. Either way you end up with more damage to roads and that's without even mentioning the positives steming from putting shit on trains.

I suppose I didn't consider that more trucks would be on that road as a result; I was just considering the weight of an individual truck.
