    That 175, might have been per pilot on a mini charge.
    That can range from 150 to 250. Depends on the area you're in.

    Just picked this up. I think I should have used edge protectors on the bottom of the load, but I'm out of them. Maybe I should use my old socks ;)

    I wonder if I'll get a citation for an obstructed front license plate? :biggrin_2556:

    Yes.........yes u can,get a ticket for plate obstruction. As long as the corners are rounded you shouold be fine. PS-Don't forget to pull your banners when you unload. What's your overhang/load width?

    I don't know your route, but IA will at the very least call you in for a covered/obstructed tag.

    Most states also have it stated on the permit that the four corners of the unit be flagged, that would be the front of the tractor and very rear if the trailer!
