What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Lowboy Auto Hauler Fairness Act of 2025," aims to amend title 49 of the United States Code.

It specifically defines a "lowboy trailer" as a semitrailer with a depressed section used for transporting assembled highway vehicles. Additionally, the bill adjusts length limitations for these specific combinations. It also includes an exception regarding rear overhang flag requirements.
