On April 23, an article about the trash trucks (I am confused after reading it) you said only mentioned rural roads. There are state highways, county and town. The big trucks pay very high taxes as license fees that permit traveling on any highways. The trash trucks can take state highways anywhere they please. There are maximum loads. County and towns have weight limits that are a lot lower than the state. Example: Salt hauling everywhere from the mine south Lansing 34B to 38 to 222 and some to 81. They have to stay on state route highways because of the weight. County roads hold a lot less weight, they are shorter, but can't. If these people are so upset with trucks, realize the railroads haul a lot cheaper per miles per ton. They were forced out of business. The article in the paper did not mention three types of roads and the allowed weights. I see that people in cities up in arms about it. They are all on state highways going through them. State weight controls these roads. Set roads straight.
