[Vision2020] Additional Shipments Planned on Highway 12

[Paul Rumelhart]

That would be a problem for their engineering staff to tackle, I would think.  
Perhaps they'll find that using lots of smaller pressure cookers or whatever 
they are is more cost effective now than trying to get overly large ones through 
Idaho.  Maybe there is a way to cut them apart and put them back together when 
they get there.  Not my problem, really.  I'm just wondering if everyone's 
concerns would go away if they did so.

Paul Rumelhart suggestively inquires:
 
"If they could break these shipments up into enough separate loads that they 
fell under the size and weight restrictions needed to get a special permit then 
all would be right with the world, correct?"
 
I feel safe in assuming, Paul, that if Conoco were to break down each of the 
(potentially) 250 mega-loads (per year) to meet ITD's length, width, and weight 
limitations . . . perhaps these shipments could progress with minor opposition.
 
HOWEVER . . .
 
How would you suggest Conoco go about breaking these down (and the 200+ jus’ 
like ‘em)?
