Roads posting are up. Just means no trucking above freezing on the side roads. Most state roads are fine.

Monday here for 2 months 

snowstorm

those that are not posted should be. 40 and bright sun will pull the frost out of the dirt roads

Wondering how load restrictions apply if I'm hauling like this. That's 10,500# of white ash. I'm loading mill directly off trailer and going back for the next load as it saves handling.

A week from Monday for Cheboygan County.  Others are going on this coming Friday.  Got a load of 100" this morning from a job on a soon to be restricted road.

The dreaded orange posters are already popping up up here.  Earliest I've ever seen it.

You can do anything in rural NB as to what and how you haul, I suspect in rural MI to. ;D That's a joke, ok? ;)

But true, in many respects. No one watching. ;D Neighbors skidding wood on the pavement, and that ain't a one time deal. ;)

That's odd. Well odd for around here. The town I live in and the surrounding towns are posted. And I mean every road. Dead end tar roads or dead end dirt roads. The roads are all posted.

Load restrictions going on Tuesday morning for the western UP.

I haven't seen any signs yet but other than a few days three weeks ago we haven't had cold to speak of. The trucks are coming out of the bush pretty dirty so they could be getting restrictions.

Ray, we've had a real influx of new people in town the last few years. They're building new Mcmansion's developments off of dirt roads.  The increase in car count has taken a huge toll on those roads. With the increase in cars came an increase in trucks servicing and expanding the Mcmansion's, the roads are getting beat up pretty bad. Highway Department contacted as many of the dirt contractors and loggers as we could to.give them a heads up so they could try and wrap up any projects or move whatever iron they needed moved

Just got word tonight that my town roads will go on next Monday and county roads Monday after that. Not sure about the town I'm actually working in. Usually they follow county restrictions. I can hope. Need that 2 weeks to finish up and get the iron mule home

They just posted the road I'm working on which normally wouldn't be too big of deal cause we could just start real early and still get as much done but we are set up between 2 houses and I'd feel bad starting the chipper much before 6 lol

What are your axle weight restrictions when your roads are posted? I know it's different for different places.. Just curious  how much it varies. 

GRANITEstateMP

A general question on postings; What is exempt in your area?  My main question, is agriculture exempt? Dairy farmers hauling manure and such?
