“Heavier and longer trucks have impacts on infrastructure and raise safety concerns, due to the additional time and distance needed to stop. “Michigan is already home to some of the heaviest trucks in the nation, but most abide by the national standard due to the inability to travel far out of state at the heavier weight,” Grand Blanc Township Police Chief Ron Wiles said. “But you don’t have to drive far to see the impact these trucks have had on our roads and bridges.”
