Meade County Approves Oversize Vehicle Permits with Strict Weight Limits

A new ordinance in Meade County allows for permits for over weight, over width, and over length vehicles, with strict weight limit requirements. The law, passed after months of research and debate, permits farmers, ranchers, and large truck drivers to continue moving loads. The weight limit is set at 80,000 pounds or seven tons per axle on specified roads in the county.
