Grain trucks with 100k lb permits can’t run interstate just state highways

You’ve obviously never had an encounter with pulp-wood truck.

The Cane-hauling trucks enjoy a considerable mulligan as to weight regulations from the State Police as well.
So do catfish hauling trucks
8 or 9 tanks filled with water and 2-3k lbs of fish per box. Fish alone around 20-25k lbs plus weight of the tanks, oxygen bottles, and all that water. No way it’s not over the limit

Look up the Louisiana traffic laws - Title 32 Many state something to the effect ‘except for farm vehicles doing their job’ Simply tells the cops, ‘don’t f@#k with the farmers’
The worst is the fact grain truck drivers don’t need a CDL as long as they haul within a 100 mile radius. Every harvest the highways are full of idiots in grain trucks
One just Friday tried to go around the railroad barrier and beat a train on hwy 82 and didn’t beat it. Right in front of the delta western feed mill on hwy 82

Having a cdl literally means nothing. It’s a piece of paper with a dr signing off saying you’ve been taking your blood pressure meds. There are plenty of people hauling grain without a cdl that are more qualified than ones with. Everyday the highways are full of idiots with drivers license

They are all over I-49 during harvest season.
But is I-49 really the interstate?

A lot of farmers of all kinds are able to haul without CDL. I believe my red neck farmer buddy in Indianola told me something to that effect.

Try driving behind a gravel truck, them nets don't do shite. Guaranteed cracked windshield or massive paint chip but they go slow so its insufferable not passing them.

I'd rather share the road with a cane truck than with a drunk.

While we’re talking cane trucks, cane trucks should be required to have a netting or cover to prevent cane leaves and debris from flying out the truck.

Why not both??? This is Louisiana. You probably get 2 for 1 vehicle more than you think!
