There are plenty of warnings about pawtucket bridge. How do peoplemiss them?

 

I used to run NE regional. In a pinch I would park behind a strip mall. Was woke up by local LEO 3 times in those 2 yrs. I held up my clipboard with the BOL on it & say I was delivering to (pick a store name at the mall) in the morning.

 

I don't know how they miss them or are they just stupid?

Every stinking day, I will see trucks pulled over on both sides. (as I go to work, then come home hours later)

I laugh each time I pass that/those dumb-arsed- trucker(s)..
They get an $85 dollar ticket for "disobeying a traffic control device" (the signage), and the company gets "up to" a $3,000 fine for being over weight/too many axles (as they have a 2 axle limit).

To date, that state has racked up just over $10 million dollars in fines collected, all thanks to stupid truckers. (this was in the local newspaper some time ago, I cannot find any link for it now.)
