Volker Fieguth, a Canadian trucker originally from Germany, rested in his deep blue rig with a white trailer full of magnesium at an Interstate 95 rest area in Fairfield Friday night. He grew animated when I asked about the new electronic highway tolls in Rhode Island, aimed solely at the biggest commercial trucks. “It’s just another money grab,” he said. “We pay a lot of road taxes.” On his rare trips through Rhode Island, he said he’d have to eat the cost himself, as an independent trucker. It’s OK in that tiny, out of the way state, but Connecticut — that would hurt him badly.
