The governor of CT. Was saying that with the new weight distance tax they passed, “if trucks didn’t want to inter the state , because of the tax , he was fine with it. “ Didn’t want the roads damaged by the big trucks anyway. This comes from “OVERDRIVE “ post I seen. The price just went up on consumer products! How do they think that those products get to the stores? We as in shipping, have to pass the cost increases along to shippers or receivers or to whom ever is paying for transportation of goods. Put it on the trucks, they’re easy targets but , don’t raise our cost on bread,gas,clothes or bubble gum! I feel for the truckers that have to contend with this. They have only 2 options available as I see, raise price to stay in business or quit.
Cars put more weight on roads per square inch than a truck. hence why some city streets that’s never seen a truck a worn out with tracks.
