      Moving machinery over our highway is just ugly with big cracks in the road surface that will almost kicks you out of the tractor seat if you go any faster than about 8 mph and the drill just gets a beating.

      When you are big and slow moving it is nice to get over on the shoulder and let the traffic go by safely but the shoulders are in such poor shape that's not an option.

      I take gravel when ever I can but where I live and where my fields are that's not always possible.

        Here in Tory blue Alta our roads were not built to handle the size of equipment that's on them today, but if yoyo think your taxes are high now just see what they will be if you get the kind of roads you seem to think you should have, Mabry a tax per # on equipment sold or on miles between 1/4s or on fuel, someone is going to have to pay.
        Some of these bots ruin miles of roads hauling grain, silage in and out with heavy equipment that we all have to pay for as land taxes won't cover the road past your holdings. Another example of the poor helping the rich.

          Where in Alberta do you live? From what I’ve seen of your beautiful province your roads don’t come close to comparing to the utter state of ruin of a sask highway.

            Exactly right shave travelled many Alta roads and it's like wow. But here so many are beyond patching already.

            And yes bucket where is the global transit plan for all this? Shut the elevators down and it took a while by we re reaping what we didn't ask for.

            Where is all the fuel tax going right now?

              This is my thought exactly . If you guys in Alberta think you have shitty roads then you haven't been To many , or any parts of Saskatchewan! By the way , you guys vote for the NDP again and just watch your road and infrastructure money get frittered away. At least in Southern Alberta , where i have traveled a bit , don't see too many bad roads in that area. Trade you Albertan's any day.

                None of the highways were designed for all the semi traffic.we had elevators every 7 miles when roads were built.

                  Wlton I live northwest of Edmonton, the highways are not all that bad but the grid roads are not built for the heavy tragic they have on them now, someone dreamed up the idea just add another axle and the sky is the limit.
                  I worked for the county in 62 and we built roads for 1000/mi, used by 1 tons and 3 tons, now roads are about 200,000/mi and still won't hold the loads, back then the highways had a 72000 max weight every thing over needed permits,1 co I worked for had 1 bed truck we had to permit empty to leave the yard now that is small potatoes, my point is what will it cost in todays dollars.
