    We just got a new deep drop trailer, and I was wondering with over height permits, how tall we can go before we need pole cars.

    Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    This ^^^ A lot depends on what side of the Mississippi you are on. Most states west of the MS have legal Heights of 14'. But the variables are to wide too list. Some states it's 14' 6" before you need a pole car some states it's 14' 1".

    So again it all depends on what states you are planning on running in.

    There are programs out there that will route you and provide what states you'll need special escorts, permits, etc. etc. in. Worth the money if you plan on doing regular overdimensional moves.
