[net.auto] A loaded 747 weighs...

850,000 pounds, or 425 tons.  I think that's a bit more
than a truck.  I seem to remember somewhere that there
has been a recent controversy about whether or not the
max gross weight for trucks should be raised from 30 to 40
tons.  Have I got that right?

A 727, not a 747. There is quite a difference.
