A truck-drivers advocate says relaxing freight restrictions will have very little impact on infrastructure. 

The Government's planning to increase truck load limits and allow freight to move during off-peak times, if we go to Phase Two of the fuel plan. 

Multiple sector organisations and companies say the changes should just be implemented now. 

National Road Carriers Spokesperson James Smith says it won't cause any more potholes. 

"If you're operating within the existing axel mass limit and all you're doing is increasing the total at the end, the actual pavements aren't going to notice a difference."
