They're a traffic hazard. They should be restricted to secondary roads.

The Cane-hauling trucks enjoy a considerable mulligan as to weight regulations from the State Police as well.

Because farm to market is literally one of the reasons the interstate system was built.

The Clay Committee concluded its report by stating that the positive economic attributes of the highway system were the potential for economic growth and the well-being of the economy through "speedy, safe, transcontinental travel" that could improve "farm-to-market movement

The sugarcane industry is vitally important to the Louisiana economy.

The interstate was built to move goods and military -- not your daily fussy commuter mom.

How are they a hazard? If they are going below the posted low speed, they should be pulled over and cited.

DOT regulations keeps them off lots of surface streets due to not being able to make turns of low hanging stuff

Look up the Louisiana traffic laws - Title 32
Many state something to the effect ‘except for farm vehicles doing their job’
Simply tells the cops, ‘don’t f@#k with the farmers’

Traveling on the interstate except for once in a blue moon is trashy

If you saw Trump driving a cane truck, you'd really be broken.

As long as they have a sign on the back that says to keep at least 2 miles behind them I don't see a problem.

Got hit by a cane truck on a Friday over 20 years ago on Hwy 1 in front of Lukeville Elementary. Totaled my car. The dude didn't have up to date insurance, registration, etc. I stay away from them, especially when they have a full load.
