trucking firms have really good lobbyists!
they always claim that w/o triples they would "have" to run lots more doubles and it would be less safe for car drivers - no mention that maybe, just maybe, more frieght would move by rail
trucks already pay a wt.-mile tax (which they hate)
the fuel tax does not touch EVs at all; and undercharges hybrids
*** now, how many of you want to subsidize electric cars by not charging them for road maintenance???
