Production Reality vs Market Reality

[daretodiffer]

This discussion is an exercise in pooled ignorance.
Firstly there are no weight reductions on primary highways because they are built to higher standards and are not significantly affected by frost entry or exit. So the issue of road bans on Highway #1 is just absurd. "couldn't police it" how preposterous.

interesting comments !! Many secondaries in the resource based areas are built to the same standard as primary highways. In this area secondaries are banned from 75-90%.
Local paved roads are banned as well and the county bylaw enforcement has their portable scales out in full force during the road ban season.
In areas where there are no government weigh scales for miles and miles along primary highways that see 12000 trucks a day, policing road bans would be extremely difficult without the provision of a lot of highway patrol staff out in full force.

Ya, thanks. For a while there, I thought I had wandered onto Ranchers.net! LOL
