(St. Paul, MN) — Truckers in some parts of Minnesota are being allowed to carry a bit more weight in their trailers. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is rolling out a ten-percent winter load limit increase for trucks that use unrestricted highways. The load limit is already in effect in Mn-DOT’s north and north-central frost zones, and dates for other areas have yet to be announced. Truck drivers who want to take advantage of the seasonal increase are being urged to go to the Mn-DOT website to check out restrictions and permit requirements.
