    They're weight resticted for a reason, has nothing to do with a neighbor complaining. I worked within my county paving for a stretch years ago, they werent engineered for truck traffic. Not as much asphalt, stone put down on secondary roads, so if it was me, id be sure not to be taking an 80k plus semi on a 9 ton restricted road repeatedly if i could help it

    A lot of these roads are paved much like they do truck stops. How many in here has seen those deep nasty ruts at the fuel islands? THIS is the primary reason there are weigh restrictions.

    Well a 9 to road going to a farm will bae more overweight vehicles on it than not. Have you ever seen a farmer pulled over with a tractor and say a planter? A lot of the tractors are way over 9 ton without any implement

    Funny

    Anybody that has ever hauled out of a farm know farmers don't understand math in regards to weight.

    Especially during harvest..."Load it 'til it's full, and hurry back!"
