I agree with Lisa on this one. Lisa Jane McKoy Hulber I am so upset about the proposed tax hike for michigan we need to first lower our weight limits to national averages and secondly the limits must be enforced . Our weigh stations are Closed! Our roads have been destroyed by the very state government that now insists we should pay for it. The state’s gross weight limit for trucks — 164,000 pounds is more than double the federal limit and the highest in the nation. The state routinely allows heavier loads after paying tiny fee. In 2012, the Michigan Department of Transportation issued 6,992 special permits an average of 19 each day!!! The heaviest truck allowed on a Michigan road last year weighed 1.5 million pounds.
