Any other trucks headed that way for the construction company, like a pickup?
-
Nope like I said I'm the only driver in my company lol

So, you have a single axle truck and trailer, that's 52K lbs. You must have overweight permits. Go through a broker, they can get them in a few hours.
-
No it's 5 axle step deck trailer the truck can run 80k but the company set it at 52000 because it's cheaper
-
Okay, so you have to call a permit broker then. Call your company and tell them. You can get permits within a few hours except on holidays, and today is not one of those. Next (permit) holiday is Thanksgiving, and those are only usually limited to daytime hours.
-
And if I have to go thru a broker how do I do that and who do I look for
-
Best way is online. permitcompany.com or just do a Google search.
I personally would just run on through. Chances of getting pulled in are slim to none on a holiday, especially with a 5-axle setup at 52xxx lbs unless you're over axle. Of course that's would I would do, not what you should do! -
And your company should already have a broker that does permits with a 52K lb registration. Have you called them?
-
I don't think you can permit it, they need to raise the weight on the prorated tag. Or you could leave your girl friend at home😀 seemed they played it light to avoid HUT
