On Tuesday, January 25th, Idaho Association of Commerce & Industry (IACI) announced the result of a survey it commissioned on behalf of the Drive Our Economy Coalition. The survey revealed that support for plans to allow oversized truck shipments along U.S. Highway 12 in Clearwater, Idaho, Lewis and Nez Perce counties was at 67% while 30% of those questioned opposed the shipments. Statewide 52% supported the shipments with 38% opposing.
When those questioned were read a description of the shipments, the route and some of the requirements such as traveling only at night, police escorts, and only 15 minute traffic delays, the numbers grew to 71% statewide and remained at a constant 68% among the Highway 12 residents.
