N.Y. roads expected to take a beating from gas drilling | Press & Sun-Bulletin | pressconnects.com.
Vehicle weight limit quoted off by a factor of 10X –80,000 lbs. is the fed max for any truck,
Not the threshold for a road use agreement
Any truck over 10,000 lb. should be subject to permit if the frequency/number of trips to the site are over a certain amount
State law is 10,000 for a road use permit – 8,000 lbs (Ford 350 unladen) has been used for road routing ordinances
For example – New Lisbon =- http://www.townofnewlisbon.com/uploads/documents/TownLaws/T_NL_LL1of2009.pdf
Conditions that trigger a permit need to be defined -as number of trips x time x weight limit
Nutshell if your town and county have not enacted road use laws by D (Drill) Day 1 – you can kiss your roads goodbye
Depending on the benevolence of drilling contractors is not advised.
