  Heck, WI and AL don't even require insurance. What's really scary in AL is all
the ancient and decrepit (and often as not homemade) logging trucks. You'll see
35-40 year old 5 ton trucks with a tag axle stuck under them carrying full
tree length loads with most of the length hanging off the back. *Real Scary*
especially if you've ever seen a really well maintained and inspected log truck
up in MN or WI lose part of it's load suddenly at 60mph.
