Single piece overweight permit definition. Can I run this?

I hauled some bakery equipment once that can be broken down to smaller section:according to the rules if anything requires skilled labor

Anything that requires special labor and an extensive amount of time to be reduced to smaller sections is considered non divisible.

 

Absolutely you can permit this trailer (it is the single indivisible piece) for overweight - empty of product. Much like hauling oil rig skids like mud pumps - where multiple pieces are permanently mounted on a skid.
If the the product inside is required to make the machine (whatever it is) function then again almost all states will allow this - exception for sure is Arkansas. Arkansas will require it to be drained - same as hauling a transformer (AR would not issue me a permit to move a transformer through their state with oil in it)

Since I can’t tell if that is a transport trailer or a machine that utilizes the gas for something- I can’t say 100%.

I would not hesitate to move it under a non-divisible permit even with product (assuming the potential hazmat is not an issue)

 

How many states you looking at...?

Or double broker it to Dave ......

 

I wouldn’t bother - just permit it and go. I have to permit my tower trailer all the time and it splits in half. No issues with that

 

How is the state going to know if or how much hydrogen weight is in the unit ?

 

Full of fuel and trailer about 3/4 loaded.

 

I thought hydrogen is lighter than air.... shouldn’t your loaded weight be less than empty weight.....?[/QUOTE]
I worked at a place that had a helium trailer, I forget the exact numbers but fully loaded it gained only 2000 lbs. it’s funny to think about, what if it sprang a leak going down the road, at some point between crammed full of helium and empty of helium, that trailer will be lighter than empty. Or something.

 

Get any work for that fancy trailer yet?
