Just back from Utah, and I'm again amazed and dismayed at some of our roads in the U.S. The road-bridge-road junction must be very hard to engineer--ugh.


I can only second that, 'At the cows'! I just returned from Moriarty on I-40. West Memphis has a long bridge or elevated highway build with concrete sections which are all sagging in the middle. That excited my van and two-axle trailer to the point where I felt the front wheels coming off the ground.. The whole rig was galloping and the only way to make it stop was to slow down to about 35mph, which did not please the truckers behind me. I did inspect the Cobra trailer, ALKO tow bar assembly and the contents of the trailer afterwards and did still find everything being tight and in place.
Road/Highway maintenance does not seem to be important in certain states.
