Best software for avoiding going under all bridges on a route?

@TripleSix

Just wing it - what could go wrong?

No, the very best thing this person can do is to contact a California based permit service like WCS.

This will be a superload and require extensive planning with both the state and each city and county the load has to move through. In addition to the permits, there will be required written permissions from each utility company and railroad and a host of others required before the load can legally move. Each of those jurisdictions will have specific insurance and survey requirements in addition to police escort and bucket trucks. If the load is heavy and I use heavy in the HH sense - then engineering signoff maybe required in the process and bridge monitors might be assigned.

Yes guarantee that city and county permits will be required in addition to the state permit. 21' tall may be not that big a deal in Wyoming or Alberta but in the SF Bay Area it is going to be a process.

Hope this helps - you would be well suited to reach for help in this process. An "regular" trucking company is not qualified to move this - frankly I am not qualified to move it either. If your load is valuable then pay the right type of company - a project type specialized rigging/hauling company - and let them do the job safely.

Probably not what you want to hear but don't give a Picasso to a mega dry van carrier and expect it to make it unscathed.

 

Silly question. Can you not crate it up and then lay it down. Heck that way you could probably rent a uhaul to pull it. Worst case is a normal flat bed load will handle it withiut the superload issues.

 

Best case scenario, you destroy the sculpture. Worst case, you and everyone that has ever heard of you wind up with fines stating in the millions. 200lbs of Tannerite is cheaper.

 

A 21 ft structure on a trailer would be 23-24ft tall. That's a minimum of 6ft taller than the big 777 dump truck in the video. A 2 story load. I believe that's far beyond anything I've done.

 

If you can take the sculpture apart in less than 8 hours and not harm or destroy it. Then it would be reducible load and would not qualify for an oversized permit.

Just as additional FYI

 

I didn't know a reducible load had a time frame?

 

You could take an excavator apart given enough time and desire - it just ends up there be not practical. It could be that not all states out a specific time on it but may term it "practical".

I ran into this issue with a load that the shipper built that was not self supporting. They wanted to ship it on a flat rack but Nevada would not issue a divisible load permit for it because the flat rack could be removed and loaded flat on a deck in a reason amount of time.

 

Color me informed. I just figured equipment had its own rules, like logs or long beams, so they were exempt from divisible rules. (Apart from those 67 load monsters)
