They might get the job done, but it sure as hell looks like it'll be shitty quality. Why are there triangular pieces just sticking out on the shoulder?

That's no lumber, that's OSB.  Probably placed there to, you know, sheathe the shoulder.  You're telling me the roads in Arkansas don't have subfloors?
