Question about oversize loads

98% sure its a yes on the flags and signs I would just be sure also pretty sure you need permits. I am only 60% sure it no nights but this is just my best educated guess without looking them up.

 

Only Texas allows you to run after dark and then only if you have becons that can be seen from all four sides.

You should get an OD book at most truck stops and it'll tell you the times you can run. Some states are half hour after sunset and some are half hour before sunset.
Most permits will tell you this but some like Indiana will say it's on the provision sheet and will give you a ticket if you don't have the provision sheet with your permit.
There is a large section on this forum about OD. Might want to read that.

 

Texas night running on interstates only up to 10 wide no lights needed

Gl I just pull my 2nd oversize load today from sc to pa had all te flags, signs and lights, permit, got pull in the weight station twice as well, but I was ready and prepare for those dot idiots

 

It should be with the permit. You'll have restrictions on when you can drive and what roads you can be on. I have had permits that even told me I couldn't be on a certain road between such and such hours. Make sure you have all the information for the states you're going through. Tickets can be very expensive.

 

They arent idiots, most are pretty smart revenue enforcement officers and take their job and your money seriously, most OS get pulled in to every scale, everytime. Part of the job. I started OS by hauling 12ft and 15ft oilfield frack tanks to Canada from Ut. Every scale, everytime. works great for flagging your strap cheques tho.

 

yep READ THE PERMIT, READ THE PERMIT and once more READ THE PERMIT. if you get caught running at night and permit sais no. you just lost your permit. and have to re aply for a new one.that will get very expensive
