Company says foes have no right to stop megaloads

Any highway that is part of the Federal Highway system that bans or restricts truck traffic ought to be removed from the system, and all of the complainers should be held responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the road after that!

US 17 in VA above I-66 ought to be the 1st example.

 

Just make it (US 12) a private tollroad. Not to take sides, but I wouldn't want a peaceful gettaway route ruined by noise and other industrial related traffic.

 

Idaho law makes no provision for contesting an oversize permit. I say let 'em go thru.

 

The first Mega load left the port of Lewiston,ID tuesday at 10:07 pm.

 

That is why they call it a HIGHWAY!!!!!

Don't build your house next to an airport and then complain about the noise....

The highway was there first, that's how your dang house got there....

The folks that travel that highway gotta stop and eat and by shoes for their kids.

And buy gas and the farmers bring their crops to the highway and that bowl of cereal you ate this AM came to you on that highway.

If you don't want to live near the highway, move to the sticks.

How much would your home be worth if it was not near the highway?

 

The next fight is coming soon because Exxon has delivered a dozen modules to the Lewiston port that are bound for Alberta via the same highway. That shipment will have 200 loads. As I posted before, Idaho law has no provision to contest the route, the permit dept. has the final say.

What is funny about this link is if you look to the left the #4 story is "Bill would bar use of welfare cards at strip clubs"
