Good point, I was thinking the same.

However, on this one, I'm siding with the article, in that I know that gross weight .. . Heavy trucks, and such, do the vast majority of damage to our roads.

Next time you're driving your 911 along some rutted out asphalt road, or hit a ridge of the stuff at an intersection, remember, that ripple was brought to you by heavy trucks & busses.
