    Wear on road goes up by the fourth power. Do you have any idea what a fully loaded tractor trailer weighs? Consumer vehicles are not even a rounding error.

        To, you know, build those houses you have those tractor trailers. And concrete trucks. In addition to transit buses, garbage trucks, moving and furniture trucks. Consumer vehicles are a rounding error.

          Those are weight limited to feeder roads, only smaller versions of those can do down the actual residential roads. They aren’t built the same, no matter how much you want to claim and argue they are. Roads are built differently, and some have weight limits since the weight will absolutely destroy them.

          When you order concrete, they can’t always send the large trucks, it can cost more to do work on residential streets since they need to batch more vehicles and more drivers. If you aren’t in the industry, you probably wouldn’t know this, but the road construction differences are all over the NHTSA website if you want to learn something.

            Oh yeah no concrete trucks lol. Do you think they are weight limited to residential vehicles? Fucking lol. Doubt they could even do that empty. And you didn’t even touch all my other examples.

            Dude at a certain point you have to admit you’re wrong and stop digging your hole. Seems you can’t here so cheers.

              There’s more than one type of concert truck dude… there’s tractor trailer (won’t send on residential roads) and a bodyjob. Which are legal for residential roads. One can hold more, so it weighs more, and would damage those roads, so they get fined if they send large vehicles down them. This isn’t a lie, this is a fact lmfao. And you want to claim it’s not? Read the NHTSA legislation, it’s all right there for you in ways to digest format.

              They have more tires that have a larger footprint so its weight is distributed more, that’s what matters, not the weight, the psi it exerts onto the ground. You would be surprised to find they exert less force overall than other vehicles, but I know you won’t ever believe this lmfao.

              Theres is also weight limited roads. Did you not learn about these during drivers ed…?

                See you have to keep drifting from EVs and F150s, fucking lol. Remember that was your first hole. Besides trying to effectively ignore, well, all my examples (because yes I am familiar with the concrete trucks used in residential construction). And driveways were covered with moving trucks and furniture trucks (fully loaded of course). Ok I really can’t keep correcting you all day. Cheers.

                  You can’t correct me since you are entirely mistaken and wrong lmfao.

                  Its weight distribution, the overall weight is a portion of the calculation. Theres a reason why larger vehicles have more larger tires dude…

                  It’s okay to be wrong, the NHTSA has some wonderful information for you.

                    FYI it’s actually axle weight (that’s taken to the 4th power), that you don’t even know that while trying to present yourself as an authority says it all. Feel free to look it up. But you can’t spread it out enough over 3 to 4 to 5 axles to equal consumer vehicles. Not even close, and then the 4th power. That’s why consumer vehicles are not even a rounding error. Ok that’s it, really. Cheers.
