    It's the 95' OAL and lack of weight that kills it for me...

    Yeah, and if you know anything about the state of Wisconsin's statute of height, that should friggin terrify you!
    Morons! No pole car required until you exceed 16' high. No big deal right? WRONG!!! Moronic state statute is any bridge higher than 15' is a foot over regulation height so it doesn't need to be marked!
    Can you do math?
    I can, and it don't add or subtract no matter how hard I try. Obviously the state can't!

    Yea anything close to 15' I use a pole car anyways. Don't care if it isn't required. Bridges are too expensive and I don't feel like buying one.

    I hear ya, me too!
    NQA, I don't care!
    Problem is too many of the low budget (rate cutters) don't because its no required, so it makes it hard to get some customers to understand your rate and the costs. Most of them stand by the old addage of "It's not required, so I shouldn't have to pay for it."
    "I understand sir, but the value of your load far exceeds this cost & with a pole car the risk of damaging your freight is reduced exponentially. It really is in everyone's best interst we take this precaution."
    "But XYZ is cheaper!"
    "Yes sir, he is. Call me when you need it done safely and I'll be happy to help."
