The reality of Truck Weight Increases..Will The Interstates Become Drop Zones

Very few things rival the mass of a fully loaded Auto Transport. One area of discussion that has come up is increasing truck weights. So I did a scan to find out how dangerous could increasing truck weights be to an Auto Transport. Well I pulled this from the Dayton Daily News:

  • ruled structurally deficient

With 6,000 bridges not making it now... can you imagine what would happen with heavier trucks in Ohio alone?  Ohio would be known as the drop zone state.

We would be the only state where you would need a parachute that inflates in addition to the airbag. Nobody would want to drive through Ohio And this is only one state
