Zippy: They already allow triples on some highways in certain states. I have that endorsement.

The repaving is also due to road damage from the truck scraping and gouging until it came to rest.

The reminder to slow down is already there in the form of a little sign that tells drivers to slow to a certain speed (probably 25 mph on a ramp) and truckers should know that that is for cars and to slow down further, due to their higher center of gravity. Liquid loads even more so since they slosh around. Yes, even bottled water or soft drinks.
