Some megaloads won't use Highway 12
February 11, 2011, 5:35 pm

An undetermined number of the 207 ExxonMobil/Imperial Oil megaloads are
leaving the Port of Vancouver by truck instead of being barged to Lewiston
for a journey across Idaho on U.S. Highway 12.

Some of the oil company's Korean-made modules have previously left the
Port of Vancouver by road, said Theresa Wagner, a spokeswoman for the Port
of Vancouver, Wash.

A permit issued by the Washington Department of Transportation for
Mammoet, ExxonMobil/Imperial Oil's hauler, allows it to haul four "super
loads" per week from the Port of Vancouver to the Washington border in
Spokane. The permit runs from Feb. 7 to March 7.

The transports would use Interstate 5 and Interstate 90 as well as a state
route in Vancouver.
