Georgia amber light permit?

My mistake, I stand corrected

 

There is also a required Amber Light permit for Nevada and it even less than $2. It can be done on Nevada's website with a credit card. GA will send out a sticker for your windshield. Nevada will provide a pdf for you to print out and carry in your permit book

 

What Rontonio said. If you want to keep the lights mounted. Sticker for GA and permit for NV.

It's a shame that members have to be ridiculed by the members of a forum that was created for the intent of helping members. And be told to use google instead. Apparently, those that know it all. Have no desire to teach those that are trying to learn.

Go away son, don't bother me with your stupid questions.

Nice attitude.

 

It's not that people are more experienced but if you did search you would have seen that the first result is a georgia.gov site and it said amber light permit. You don't need experience to know that is the right page. Heck if you are unsure you click on it.

Of course I have asked for help but not before doing my own research. Once you do that it is a matter of clarification of some wording not where can I get this or that. I have never ordered an amber light permit from Georgia because I do not run there but it took less than 30 seconds to find the page.

Don't give me that woah is me crap. I am supporting 3 kids and an ex-wife. There is a difference in being legal and being spoon fed information. If you want to excel you have to put forth the effort to make yourself better than the average driver. Don't settle on average if you are going to be doing OD loads.

Yep it was designed to help not hand hold. 30 seconds of searching is all it took to find it. Especially when it comes to OD loads, I don't want the average driver moving those with my family near by, I want an exceptional driver that knows how to find the information. Now if he would like clarity on what something says, I would be the first one to more than gladly help if I can.

If you can't find something as simple as the amber light permit how in the hell is he ever going to find the regulations for every state that he crosses? It is more a matter of teaching someone to tie their shoes before teaching them to run.

 

I Googled amber lamps...

 

My question is, what's the purpose of a "amber light permit", generate revenue?....Heck, I only thought that was done in NY, the ultimate home of fines, fees & taxes...

 

There's a lot to learn about hauling oversized. The op clearly stated he's never hauled OD yet.
Those that have been hauling and have the experience of using resources. Expect a newbie to know and think about the same resources. Right off the bat.

I'm sure none of us knew what to look or ask for on our first time.

The op didn't ask for his hand to be held. He asked a simple question. And got a smart A answer.

 

Hmm I just wonder what's the best source of information? I use Google and sometimes the right info can smack you in the face others it takes weeding though a dozen pages. I personally have found the best and most sound information on trucking topics comes from those that have the experience.
So he was doing some research. It just is not the same as you would do.
I like to come in here ask a question do a little other research then come back to see what answers I get and if anything I found matching what experienced drivers come up with.

Let's take one example of Google getting people the wrong info as you from the countless topics about straps inside or outside of the rub rail the almighty Googles first result is the FMCSA’s website WITH OUTDATED INFO.
If you feel the need to not answer that's all good just don't answer either someone else will or they will find another source.
And don't get me wrong I have mad respect for you and the sightfull info and help you post. And I understand what your saying to a degree. But research(asking here or asking Google) is research at least he tried to get info before hand which is better than so many in this industry.
And to quote you
"I wantan exceptional driver that knows how to find the information."
He found the information so I guess he's good to go in your book now.

 

Yep, he found the information after he was pushed to do it himself. He needs to learn to push himself. I don't think he is a bad driver at all, I don't know, but information gathering you need to do on your own. You all know what kind of misinformation or blatantly stupid information that gets posted on these forums. People take that as gospel and don't verify that information and then post here how to handle a ticket they just got. Other times there will be no one here to answer the questions in time. I don't even take the word of our other drivers because I know that they sometimes take shortcuts and I really don't here because I don't know anyone personally.

Here is one bit of information that I have found in EVERY state that I have looked at. Now I have not looked at all states online but the ones that I have, have published a driver's handbook somewhere on their web site and it gives all this information and where to find it. If you are going to pull OD loads that is the first place to start for every state you are going through.

He had the term correct and if he really did do a search he would have found it on the official state web site that came up as the #1 result for me. That was not a difficult one to find. Probably one of the easiest. If it had been something even tougher to locate I might have posted the link.

If you really want to help someone, giving the answer is not always the best way to do that. I would like this young man to succeed but in OD the only person that you can count on in the end is yourself. Same goes for people not reading their permits. Or the famous.... I am only taking this 30 miles, I don't need all those chains it will never move.

We had a driver 2 weeks ago moving a 773 five miles. He got pulled over 50 yards from his destination with not enough securement.

Yes talk to old hands, soak up the information they share with you but understand why the old hand is telling you to do it a certain way. This way you can verify if what he is telling you is legal or the way they have always done it.

Last fall we were delivering box culverts, one of the workers picking the box fell while on our trailer. He said that our driver was holding the ladder for him. The drive was not holding the ladder but he wanted our workers comp to cover his injuries. If you are to give out incorrect information in this litigious country we now live in, you could potentially be partially liable should something happen. You can act like an Ostrich with your head in the sand and say it will never happen but it is coming some day and I will not be put in that situation.
