The article is about 168,000 pound double trailer ore trucks on the Richardson Highway in Alaska and the hazards they may present.

Quote from the article:

"Even milder road grades can cause the B-trains to start slowing down. For example, a sustained 3% grade will not be able to go faster than 28 mph."

Wow! I am familiar with plate tectonics but a hill going 28 miles per hour would be something to see!

Hate to see what getting the “cold shoulder” means.
