I would like to know why empty logging truck drivers feel that they have the right to run up and down Buckhorn Lake Road when they have a logging road, the Willow Cale, to run on.
Buckhorn Lake road has had millions of dollars put into it, to build and seal coat this road, there is also a 25-tonne load limit on this road. At this time of year the weight restrictions are put on roads to help protect them from being smashed up while the ground thaws.
So every year at this time everyone on Buckhorn Lake Road must endure loud jake brakes all night long, and we must dodge the enlarging potholes created by empty, and the odd full, logging trucks that are allowed to legally run this road.
I guess that it is better to smash up Buckhorn Lake Road then the Willow Cale road, which is actually a real logging road.
Something is really wrong when this is allowed, in the eyes of the road laws, to happen.
Oh, and don't forget that every taxpayer pays for the repairs to Buckhorn, when the mills pay to maintain the logging road.
The condition of our road is not the trucker's fault, I guess, it is the laws that allow this to happen, because really the truckers aren't doing anything that they shouldn't be doing, or are they?
