I don't know about before construction, but there certainly are a lot of GrandLinq and related vehicles that use the trail through there. That having been said, they don't leave them there, and are pretty polite when they encounter trail users (at least in my experience). And I don't usually see a lot of alternatives to their using it for brief stretches.
In contract, this truck that Pheidippides took a picture of is choosing to block the entire width of the trail, and could just as easily have avoided it. There's no chance that it would even cross the mind of the driver that maybe the trail isn't designed to carry that weight. Motorists who put their two-tonne vehicles on sidewalks and the like simply couldn't care less that they're greatly hastening the wear of the sidewalk.
