My current load. A short 2 stop load up into West Virginia.
Cute little guys.
My current load:
Cousins!
Saw this today on US 30 in Indiana. Trainer took picture while I drove.
So here's this weekend's load. 10' wide, 53,500# and the trailer is stretched to 58'. There's two of us headed from Minnesota to a refinery in New Jersey with a Tuesday morning unload appointment.
When/where do you need escorts or pilot cars?

This load won't require them. In quite a few states it's required for loads over 12' wide or 14' tall or over a certain length. Each state has their own rules, routes, special provisions regarding travel times and potential curfews so it honestly just depends on where you're running. The big key is to read, re read and read each state permit again before entering the state to make sure you haven't missed anything. In this case, I have to take a route through Illinois, across a particular bridge that I would rather not have to drive over given that it's due to collapse at any time lol.
I would pull these everyday. Big toys!
I could use one of those at the cabin! Ever stop by White’s Truck Stop???

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
