Should all truck weigh stations be replaced with weight in motion systems like they use in Canada?

I can give you $15 million reasons a day because that is what it cost the consumer to stop and weigh some 500,000 trucks several times a day. Most of that money goes to our friends in the middle east to buy majic carpets (business jets) from France.

    Hey, mammalboy. Get a clue. Trains are still used today but tracks don't run everywhere that roads go. Genius.

    18 wheelers need to be taken off of the road and we should go back to using trains. Truckers would be hired by the railroads, so dont whine about losing jobs. There's just too many trucks out there on the road and the tweeked out drivers clog up traffic and run over cars, killing people. They are helping to destroy the environment with all of the carbon monoxide they expel. It makes absolutely no sense not be using the rail system that is already laid out from coast to coast.

    Yeah, Canada rocks.

    I don't know why you think the weighstation money goes to the middle east though.
