Although trucks are designed and intended to haul heavy loads long distances, there is a maximum weight that they can carry, and many states have enacted laws to ensure that trucks do not carry more than this maximum weight when traveling on the state’s roadways. In Illinois, as in many other states, the weight restrictions for commercial trucks vary according to the number of axles the trucks have, with the largest trucks legally not permitted to exceed a weight of 80,000 pounds.
