Looking at possibly booking an over size to the keys. 12' wide.
Anyone done any over size beyond Miami? Any issues on the bridges to the keys? Trying to look up info,.. I recall reading somewhere that beyond Florida City,.. anything over 10ft or something like that must be done at night.
Trying to find out if I'm going to need escorts for this or not.

Complete brain fart moment.
Hurst -
We all have those moments
They might have a bunch of questions about where when how heavy etc
But they would have the info and maybe even police escort not sure
Plus even certain days for travel -
Over 12 is 1 escort for 4 lane, and 2 for some 2 lane roads.
Hurst and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -

Over 10' after 10 pm only with police escort at Jct 1&997 south. Best Western lost there truck parking. the weght are less. Our 329's could not come out on 7 axles.
tsavory, blairandgretchen and Hurst Thank this. -
I'm going to stick with simple O/S loads. I though the money would be good but making calls back and forth with a broker who at the last minute reveals that the load is also in fact 13' tall by itself,. which would end up being over 16' tall on my deck was a deal breaker for me. Originally he had me believing it would be 13' tall on my deck.
After my experience with RGN last summer,.. I do not trust pilot or escorts to be very competent. I was passing through into a tight weight station and the radio got quiet. I squeezed through with barely a few inches on either side. Afterwards she said,.. I didnt think you would make it. If thats true.,. then thats your job to speak up! Not wait until after to see if I make it or not!

997 is one each way from the Peelot to north side of Homestead.Orange makers 3ft tall in the middle of road,no passing My last one was OW only no OS had to come up 1 all the way to I95, that is a lot of stop lights with 93k gross. I was 3k over my 90k on 6 permit and she let me. Told me I had to get a new permit or I would not make to GA,

Peelot to Big Pine 997&1 is a 3hr trip with no traffic & no load. I dont think they will let you put that on step deck. How far south did go.The things I move was for the new sewer sys as far south to the 17 mm by the Sugarloaf lodge.
