Earlier today I was following a Smart Choice Transport semi trailer truck on Highway 10 making a left hand turn onto 168th Street, so as to head to South Surrey/White Rock.
What's so unusual? This isn't a truck route. If in doubt, look at the sign that says no heavy trucks over 10,000 kg. When this truck turned I could see the weight on its door - 29,500 kg. So yeah, I'd say it qualified as a heavy truck.
This is not the first heavy truck that's travelled along 168th judging by the poor condition of the road and the cracks in the pavement.
Bylaw officers don't seem to be too interested in truckers breaking the law, as evidenced by the complaints of residents on 64th Avenue where the bylaw officers suggest residents take the truckers to court. Yeah, right. Who's going to go to that trouble?
I'd say Smart Choice Transport made a poor choice in hiring a driver who has no respect for the laws of the road around Cloverdale.
