It's not that, it's the freight trucks. We have a much higher weight limit than other states, and it tears up our roads. States around us spend about 3 times as much on roads as we do.
Brining the roads in bulk during the winter also doesn't help.
It's partially the freight trucks, but even without them there's a reason why the states around us spend 3x as us on their roads. Agree that freight trucks don't help, but the real gap is spending.
