They take these back roads to avoid dot. We need more dots to catch them they are over loaded and fly they have fliped loads ran people of the road but i havent seen more than 2 dots around here.
I know it must be a hard job to drive anything on a pig trail. I now it is hard
for my car sometimes, but I always wonder about the log trucks and why
they bother to drive down 95A instead of using 29 if it is so difficult on
narrow roads. I have seen the edges break up under their weight and
they just fly down them. I have wondered if log trucks are except from
tickets for speeding, I can’t say I have ever seen one pulled over and
ticketed, and I keep wondering why that is.
****Maybe Kevin white should drive a bus to see what it is like tryng to drive on a pig trail****
i imagine some bus drivers ((or even people who think that driving freightliners or logging trucks is easy to drive on “pig trail” roads)) should try driving a freightliner to see how hard it really is. logging trucks have to sometimes use pig trail roads to get to mills just like buses have to use pig trail roads to get to students homes. its not always the freightliners fault.
All secondary roads in the northend are too narrow, but no cares because it is above 9 mile road. If you drive a bus on this end you constantly are watching to keep from running off the road. Maybe Kevin white should drive a bus to see what it is like tryng to drive on a pig trail.
just need narrower vehicles
David picturing four foot wide buses and log trucks
O and I’m glad no one was hurt!=)
I agree! I wonder if they will ever widen it?
This road is entirely too narrow for two large vehicles to pass without incident. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen all the time.
