Truck tires no longer need special markings to show their load limits

The US Department of Transportation wants to remove a rule that requires commercial truck tires to have specific load restriction markings. This means truck operators will no longer be confused about whether these markings are federally required.

For years, truck operators have been unsure if they needed special markings on their tires to comply with federal rules. This proposed change clarifies that the federal government does not require these markings. It removes a minor but persistent point of confusion for the trucking industry.
