Can trucks be held liable for damage to roads?

Probably not. I mean first of all, the builder likely has permits for material hauling. Second of all, are you going to class action all the companies, drivers, dispatchers, builders, local governments, etc. that had a hand in this? That's a big suit with a lot of moving parts.

 

Probably baked into the budget of building the course. I was apart of a rebuild of a pro course and all that stuff was in the budget for the whole project. And was fixed after the project was done...that would be my guess

 

More than likely repaving that road is part of the project, similar to when a new business has to pay to rebuild an intersection and/or pay for traffic lights to handle the increased traffic.

 

Yep, "Lumpy potatoes",,,too bad, the price of progress. I've been on dump truck jobs like you describe, maybe not 10,000( sounds like a lot) but some places made me question who made those decisions. Once, while rebuilding the Lake Michigan coastline in upscale Fox Point( Milwaukee) we ran through some mansions yard, FOR WEEKS, dumping material over the edge. The foundation of the houses HAD to be compromised. I believe when done, the construction company will send out a landscaping crew to repair the damage.

 

Since the golf course is a new development, and additional traffic permanently was going to be the result, this was baked into the whole permitting process.
Theory is go ahead and totally destroy the road, it will get rebuilt likely wider and up to spec.

There are probably a bunch of homes as part of the development. I think you should be thinking of getting one. You and your truck would fit right in.

 

The costs and areas of responsibility for road remediation will be spelled out in the contract.

 

That is up to each local government. Here in TN all State roads are legal to drive on at legal weights. Local roads can be different. Often they will make the developer bond the road. This means that after they are done with the development they will have to fix the road or the municipality will call the bond to pay for road repairs.

 

They'll likely destroy the road during the project and then come in at the end and re-pave the whole road. If they don't, I'm sure the municipality will go after them

 

In some larger counties in Texas, if a major construction site is reached by a county road, the companies have to submit a Bond. The Bond is to cover the costs to repair any damage to the road if at the end of the project the companies involved don't fix it. Then the county files on the Bond to recover the costs.

Nothing Unusual.
