Megaload On Track To Leave Idaho
On Tuesday, a security officer walks past the megaload while at a stopping point outside of Arco, about 50 miles west of Idaho Falls. Idaho Transportation Department officials say the 45-ton shipment of oil production equipment is drawing close to the Montana border and could leave Idaho roads this weekend, around the same time a second shipment enters Idaho from Oregon. The megaloads are bound for Canada’s disputed tar sands energy development, and they have been a focal point for protesters. (AP Photo/The Idaho Post-Register, Pat Sutphin)

The megaloads, hauled by transport company Omega Morgan, are bound for Canada’s disputed tar sands energy development, and they have been a focal point for protesters/Associated Press. More here.
Question: Do you have problems with megaloads, as long as they’re not affected North Idaho?
