Hauling My First Oversize Load

you will or should get a list of provisions with your permits for every state that will tell what and when you drive or escorts needed.why did you turn it down? you also a get an oversize hand book from any truck stop it will help,but will need to make sure you get the provision lists with permits.

 

Regulations? You need to know them all. The rate on this would have killed it for me, not the wind.

 

don't pass the coop if it's open you will get everything checked,they will run an oversize thru the ringer, it's not hard to learn or do,it's slower paced and day light hours and more watching whats going on around you.I've been doing OS/OW for many years and really enjoy what I do.

 

prepass does you no good on O/S loads. you have to stop.

you also need permits. thus, lowering your 2.50 rate.

AND, correct me if i'm wrong. but wouldn't you also need escorts over 10 ft. wide. depending on the state???

what would you guys haul for? ratewise?

 

this is why od rates suck right now, people taking them that dont understand the extra time and work involved.

Its why im back pulling general freight this winter.

 

generally permits and any escort fees have padded in with unforeseeable or in writing as an extra.

 

most states dont require escorts until over 12 ft. and some even more.

 

Too me, the rate would of had me saying not for that low of money..
