Hates to give in! 32 all nite, ground never froze! The woodcutters will start calling around 6:30-7 when theybget up and the temp will drop a couple more degrees! They will be crying on the phone wanting there lastr few loads hauled! I got wood on every job i hauled off! Couple loads on each job. The posters say below 32 or solidly froze with no water showing! Leaves alot of lee way for the cops to write you up!  650$$$$$ fine and points on your lisence if you get caught! Then if your loaded and they weigh you up, they can take you back to 26,000 pounds and start the fine there! So with a legal load on a non posted road i would be 50,000 pounds over on a banned road!  :o

I've got three loads on the yard, with two more partial. I wouldn't have believed it could hover at, or a degree above, freezing this long at night in the first of March.

I told my trucker not to bother unless he was sure conditions were permissible. I don't feel right in pushing him to risk the troubles so I can make another dollar. I do have very low overhead also. That helps........

Hopefully your woodchoppers  can make it for a month till postings are lifted.    Hope you can get some freezing nights in while the postings are up.

no roads are posted up here yet, still 2 ft of snow on the ground hopefully 2-3 more weeks before the thaw but doesnt look good for the weekend

roads close to heavy trucks midnight sunday night up here in nova scotia.  fines can really pile up in a hurry

a few years back, a large atlantic canadian lumber company needed to move a dozer so they took a chance on it.
somebody saw them, a phone call was made and the end result was right around  $10 000 fine. (info straight from the dot officer)
