Description

It's fine and all to be a farmer I am sure, but what is not fun is each day and night lately, farming equipment is moving all over this road taking up BOTH lanes from Exeter to Corinth. People driving on other peoples land because the equipment is moved by the farms only.
I remember a time when wide loads like this required a pilot vehicle marked accordingly to warn oncoming traffic.
Last night I almost hit two of their trucks, the center truck had no headlights on, they were hauling equipment taking up both lanes and none of the stuff even had clearance lights to see something is in the other lane.
It would be nice if someone would start enforcing some wide load laws in the area before people start getting hit on the corners, or landowners take plate numbers (because the farm equipment doesn't have them) and make claims against insurance for property damage...it is a little nuts that people can't put up some respect to other drivers and ignore common sense for being in such a small town area.
