Rep. Dave Taylor introduced H.R. 7321, the Towing Safety Act, in January 2026, which would temporarily waive federal vehicle length limits so tow operators can transport a wrecked semi as a complete rig to a safe location instead of disassembling it on an active highway shoulder, according to CDL Life. TRAA has endorsed the bill and carried it as a priority during its February Hill Day on Capitol Hill.
Operator takeaway
Track H.R. 7321 in committee — if it passes, it reduces the most dangerous phase of heavy-duty recovery by eliminating mandatory on-scene disassembly.
