    I think you do have to run Oversize Load signs. In Ga, the flashing lights didnt use to be required but it might have changed? You might also want to make sure you can run at night in GA with a permitted load? It used to be that you couldnt.

    Unless my math is wrong, based on the weight of your rig, this motor grader would be legal on 5 axle setup weighing 34,000 lbs. Is that correct? Or are the 2 axle lowboy trailers much heavier?

    With a 140M on I'm what Rontonio is empty.
    When I went with the lighter trailer I figured I'd do OK moving stuff others had to permit for weight, that didn't work out so well. Go big or go home, I guess.
