    If you are going through Minnesota make sure you have mirrors on that you can see around the load. Must be able to see 200' behind you and they do check for them at the scale at the Minnesota/Wisconsin border.

    And not just flags at the four corners of the vehicle, some permits call for flags to be placed at the widest point of the load.
