    Make sure you get permits to wherever you are parking the truck. Also remember that most states won't let you move on weekends. Of make you stop by noon. Every state is different. Your permits will have your authorized routes on them.

    Your permits will have very specific routes on them. Some states allow you a mile off your route for fuel n things. Others make you get permits for local towns n stuff. Most don't sweat it unless you go off route by more then 1/2 - 1mi off the interstate. But let's say you get permits to go from Mobile to Houston on I10 to I12 to I10. You live near New Orleans and figure you will spend the weekend at home. Well you can't take your truck to NO with the permits u have.

    If that load ain't paying close to 3.00 PM you need to cancel. You need to find a guy with a o/s load to show you how to banner and flag cause it seems you don't have a clue. Or either you need to grab the oversize book from the truck stop. It's not hard to pull oversize it's just a headache and if you don't have flags in the right place you're in for a long day

    Another example is you may need a escort in one state but not one in the other.

    If it was listed as legal, and turned out to be od, I'd be canceling. Are you POSITIVE it was posted as legal? In the comments section agents state the dimensions of every load. Up to you too read them.
