    That's what I thought but since I didn't have any provisions or restrictions on the permit I was wanting to ask. This is my first oversize and don't want to mess anything up.

    If running an oversize ld. in the state of Il. you better have a copy of the provision sheet.
    You can go on their website and print it out.
    Says right on your permit you are to carry a copy of it...
    The portion where it says you need to comply with certain rules..

    Awesome. Thanks for the info

    I should be good then. I'm 10'6" wide and 13'8" tall.


    Thanks
    I'm trying. This is my load headed home. Its going to north carolina.

    Alright. I can't print anything out, weekend dispatch is useless on things like this. Id have to have them FAX it to me I suppose. I'm in Iowa, I'll stop at the Iowa 80 and get the FAX there then. I don't want to be in violation.


    This is it.
