These large trucks are longer than existing limits and pose serious dangers to other drivers and passengers, as well as to truck drivers and infrastructure. Roughly 80 fatal accidents have involved large trucks across Long Island, a number the Senator says would only rise if these new trucks were allowed on the road. Schumer also said that despite the fact that New York has a ban on these types of trucks on most roadways, the language in the Senate THUD bill includes a provision that would preempt New York law. Schumer vowed to fight such a provision from passing in the Senate THUD bill as it comes to the floor for a full vote.</p>\r\n<p>On July 27, 2015, standing beside Interstate 495 in Roslyn Heights, U.S. Senator Charles E.
