    There's a highway not far from me that has been littered with loads of hay, dumped by guess who, yep, truckers. SD Hwy73 Lemmon on south. Got so bad the locals were joking about who was going to win the hay lottery this week. Chatter on the radio was that it was truckers hauling hay to get out of ND, who didn't have much experience hauling hay.

    maybe he needed to get home for a funeral also, or he needed to get back to ga. what may be cheap to you , may not be cheap to another, only the guy who took it knows why he did it. suppose the load was going to Indiana and you needed to go home, would you have taken it then. ??

    Skateboardman: You remember to many things. I might've taken it, but I sure try to avoid really cheap freight. I think it gives the wrong message and causes other freight to go cheap.

    depends on the state but normally "divisible" means length width is widht. now if you are pulling a 48 ft trailer you can have some rear overhang but none on a 53" best thimg to do is if you have an oversize load, READ YOUR PERMITS AND PROVISIONALS!!!!!
