MDOT says only about 5% (1 in 20) trucks in Michigan are running at that
weight.
Of course, in that same paper they claim that if the weight limit is reduced
to 80,000 pounds the number of trucks on Michigan roads will increase by
12-15 thousand.
And finally.... Costs for truck traffic is 40% while they are contributing
15% in taxes and fees to the Michigan Transportation Fund
