    That chrome shop in Burns Harbor at the J has them in Indiana. I believe Empire chrome in West Memphis may carry them too.

    For the province of Ontario, they accept the OVER SIZE banner but Québec it's 10' and wider D sign only ( Under 10' take it off ).Escort no D sign ,just the strobe. Now here is the catch : province of New Brunswick, D sign on truck and small D sign on escort ! Many escorts don't have them so be prepared . Most people carry orange portable flashing lights . But if you do overlong make sure the reamost is a red one . The strobe laws are confusing. Each state has a different law. For New York state you may have to get a state permit,a thruway permit and a new York city one ! Always inquire about Toll roads , most of them let you drive wide loads at night ( NY Thruway up to 12 ' wide ) . Some Toll roads such as NJ Tpk, total ban on oversize trucks . Most jurisdictions want flags at 4 corners plus flags on the widest points . There is no penalty for puting more. Carry lots of spares as they wear out fast .
