Puerto Rico viewed from a gringo’s perspective
13 Mar
While I can’t verify this, I have been told that the 18 wheelers and big trucks don’t have any weight limits. I have definitely have never seen a truck weighing station. I have seen trucks sagging lower than they should on almost a daily occurrence. So if there are rules on weight limits, they are never enforced.
So as the hefty trucks drive the streets of Puerto Rico, they tear up the roads because the roads were not designed to handle the weight that is being put on them. It would probably cost a lot less to enforce weight limit laws (if there are any) and put some truck weighing stations in than to repair the damage cause by the trucks.

There are weight limits, but as you said, there are virtually no weight stations so that law is not enforced.
Do you know of any weigh stations?
No, but they were weighting trucks when the truckers strike happened a few years ago. Maybe a mobile one?, I don’t really know.
there’s one near the toll in Salinas…..
