Went To load Friday Morning, Load 8AM didn't load till 2PM got my permits cool 16 wide 16 tall not to bad full stretch , easy, The permits routed us below the curfew Yeah haw gonna be able to roll. Get going made it 55 miles and heard the dreaded " HEY Did We Miss A Turn????" NO. STOP STOP STOP! Creeped up around the bend and there is a carnival in front of us across the route ( Fall Festival) . Called the state, was told the route is clear, there shouldn't be anything in your way, asked her if she would like a picture. She asked if we could find away around, called local PD, The took us on a few routes around town> NOT WITH THIS LOAD! So we sat till this morning till it was all gone.
On a happy note the town was great, met most of the local PD, road supervisor and the Mayor ( who had a copy of the letter he sent to the state). They found u a place to park put us up for the weekend, all and all it wasn't that bad. except my pilots made more than me this weekend.

So just curious - is the extra cost on you, or does it get passed along to the shipper / receiver?

I pay the pilots but the cost is going back to the shipper

Sadly the town I live in does a parade next weekend (every year). Shuts down the state hwy for about 4 hours and never informs the state. I think they beleive they don't have to because it's on a Sat. and you could get a 4 wheeler around it.

Did they give you the key to the city? Sounds like they took good care of you.
