    Where you leaving from? If you want to avoid the mess in Eastern OR why not run up 95 to Lewiston then west on 12 and up 82 to 90?

    Not if you have a permit. And if you have a 53', you have to slide the tandems all the way up. They'll allow 38,000 on the trailer tandems then.

    Ya,I knew it was something.
    years ago,I had to go around 95 to get to Lewiston...
    I ran 84 to hwy.82 to hwy.3 to hwy.129 north to Lewiston.
    Pulling a 3-axle RGN,I scraped both rails going thru the hairpins.
    Brutal trip....
    I think I should have taken my chances on 95....LOL
