[quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]We make up just about 13 percent of all vechiles nationwide but last year paid in over 55% of all fuel taxes into the Highway trust fund that it got.[/quote] Please re-read "alphas" post about road damage above. I just tried to supplement it with some numbers.  [quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]We pay on average 4 to 5 times the fuel and road taxes a normal car would pay.  Yet all we hear from people is make them pay more and more.  You want us to pay more then fine expect your items in the store to start to cost more as we can no longer absorb the costs.[/quote] As German I'm out of the finance question. But there are not that many alternatives. [quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]Volkner I live in Illinois and I have seen what a freeze thaw cycle can do to a roadway. [/quote] With a predamage freezing water would not lead to further damage. It has to somehow get into cracks and cravices to destroy the surface by expansion. [quote user="Shadow the Cats owner"]We have a road that gets no trucks on it at all they repaved it 2 years ago. [/quote] We have these roads too. Not all roads are built equal. For less loads the road structure is built less sturdy. The road I think of is closed for all trucks of 3.5 tons and more. But as it is a shortcut there are possibly 10 trucks a day on that road. With an unsuitible road structure damages are predictable. Regards, Volker
