Just got my new Great Lakes Timber Professionals magazine. This month it is full of  articles of all the new rules for truckers and especially those trucks that carry raw forest products. It really does seem that they are trying to put every one out of business. People that deal in raw forest products can not take much more . They have written laws over the years to make it hard for a small log hauler to opperate... well more like impossible so the trucks have gotten bigger and bigger out of necessity. Now they are saying that the trucks are to hard on our bridges and they just upped the fines for over the weight limits from $.02  a pound to up to $.06 a pound ... not for all trucks , just for log trucks.... a little discriminating I would say  being that we do not haul any more weight than other freight trucks.
