During the down time in the sleeper is when I would review the permits for each and every state I would be going through. You've got to read the small print and plan you trip accordion. IT'S A MUST. -
CO makes us run around loop w/ oversize in Denver. Not straight through I-25 or I-70. They have a lot of construction on some. And curfews in morning and afternoon. But if you plan it out right you can miss them. And never drive closer than about 1/2 mile with another oversize. There were 4 of us going to WY. I went through Lamar 1st. Other 3 got reamed for following to closely. Never did tell them what they were supposed to do. Pull over and wait on side of road for others to clear scale? There is one old gal that works there that is just always in bad mood. Tell her have a nice day and she just glares at you. lol Too bad lady. My papers are in order and you aren't going to find a loose chain or any thing else to gig me on. She had one guy so rattled he couldn't find his cab card in his own binder. Was going to write him up. We showed him that it was right in front of him. You go in looking guilty like he did and you are just asking for trouble. Keep you stuff in order and act like you own the place. Be friendly and courteous and you normally won't have any problems.
notarps4me Thanks this. -
I was wondering if anyone knows of a training flick or you tube about double drop decks and how to break them apart and put them back together?

We have a pilot car service and the book was at Petro, in Beaumont, Texas a few weeks ago. This website has the book and the going price is $ 13.95 plus freight, think Petro was $ 14.95.
Tried to put a link in for the book but they won't let me, so if you type the name in on a search bar it will come up. I found at least twice on the net.
Was just passing thru, thought you all could use the help. -

I have a question and an observation.
On permits for states that DO NOT require you to sign it, (Ohio, Maine, New Hampshire, and Connecticut, just to name a few) it states it must be carried in the truck. Does it matter if its on paper or electronically carried (saved to the desktop of your computer)?
And my observation, Wyoming demands you call before entering their state and get a confirmation number from them. Failure to do so is an automatic ticket for $126 and an additional permit for $24 to cover the area crossed to the POE. Plus the cost of the permit to continue across their state. -
Your permit must be printed out and in your possession. In Ohio your provision sheet MUST BE ATTACHED to your permit. The Pilot car book is a nice tool but, the provision sheet for each state is the best place to keep yourself legal.
