Nothing wrong with the trucks using the road they paid for. Each truck pays between $7000 to $9000 per year, per state, in "Highway Use Taxes". You pay how much? So if you think the truckers are driving like they own the road, you're right, because they *do* own it! Their taxes paid for it, and pay for maintaining it. You're getting a free ride! Just be glad they are willing to share the freeways with you. They are earning a living out there, and are delivering EVERYTHING you own, use, or consume. You are probably just out there wasting gasoline on personal fun and games. Without trucks, America stops! > > -- > Matthew T.

You set yourself up, I just took the shot you offered to me! Wiz
