    I always creeped across those bridges, speed is what kills them.

    11,400 fine, he will just have to overload a little heavier a few times to make it up. lol

    Oh it's not just for the out of towners , when I was rocking roads in that area we had to load legel like every boby else and the sheriff's dept would check us occasionally.
    If there was a bridge we couldn't cross we had to go all the way around the section and dump up to the bridge .

    Me looks at a wooden bridge hmm? Yet this guy just goes for it trying to be the Dukes, good thing he did not spill the beens.
    Someone else posted about this in the wee hours.
    I wonder if the tow was expensive?

    What sucks when something like this happens, is when it is THE road to where you live, which happened to me a few years ago.lol

    I have taken some serious, even overweight heavy equipment across 6 and 8 ton marked bridges. Usually they were real short, and I looked under them before crossing.

    I was moving a tractor from field to field up by charleston kansas, and came up on a 6 ton bridge on a dirt road, This was on a dirt road 100 yards or so before it crossed the highway. I was not worried about the bridge, but the dot had several cars parked on the dirt road, stopping and inspecting trucks on the highway. lol
    I totally lucked out,it was just before lunch and I eased across and up behind their cars, they were all taking their coveralls off and going to lunch. I had to wait just a minute then followed them out of there. lol

    Those old plank bridges ...maintained ....are incredibly tough .
    Iowas rural county rock roads are loaded with them .
    I think by dry beans they mean edible beans not soy beans , they raise alot of them in north Dakota.
