that they dont bill. I know md uses way to much salt on the roads in the winter. I have seen them plow more salt off the roads than snow before.

At least where I live, the highway departments do not use a lot of salt but they use a mixture of sand and salt. The state DOT on the other hand uses straight salt.

They salt it down hard here, no doubt. The liquid mix stuff is the worst.

I have not seen any of the liquid stuff up this way because we have a couple of large rock salt mines in the greater area.

Neil - they've gone to the liquid stuff over the past couple years here, at least locally. Probably too many dinged up car complaints from salt trucks, but the stuff is nasty on paint...

Neil they use straight salt here as well as a deicing liquid for some of th ebridges and this past winter they tried a brine solution which was a mix of molasses and road salt. talk about nasty stuff for the vehicles. makes me glad the local carwash has an undercarriage flush system for the touchless system.
