    Anyone been there? Anything worth worrying about, or just another grade? Heading to Lewiston with an oversize load and I don't really want to have to chain up if I don't have to.

    It's not bad at all. Never did it oversize but hauled quite a few glass loads up through there and the only issues really were the frost heave speeds limits. The hill at Bonner's Ferry was usually pretty clean. In fact the whole road seemed pretty well taken care of during the winter, minus the heaves ofc.

    I'm assuming you meant the Kingsgate crossing btw.

    Kingpin rules apply on 95 Idaho.

    Often times a roadside DOT checkpoint on 95 to check these kingpin laws as well as the rest of the truck.

    Ya,I've been to Lewiston,Clarkston and Moscow,Idaho.There's a brake check area at the top of the hill.The Idaho scales are pretty fair dealing.The worst part was the bicycling people In The Road when I came down the steep grade.Road has ripples and washboards.Be Aware of the Yahoo's that may be in the road around the curves.Seriously,WTF these bicyclists "are in the road after rounding the second steep curve" Not too bright.Coming out of Clarkston on 95 is the challenge.It's steep winding uphill battle for like 8 miles!

    Heading to Lewiston from where? Boise area or Coeur d"Alene area? I have been that way many times in a truck. There is a length limit restriction from Council to Grangeville area that you will need a permit for. 61' if I recall correctly. And tandems slid all the way forward IIRC. Cda down... No problem, Just watch for fog and the Lewiston Grade.

    Coming from the Boise area to Lewiston. Spread axle with a 10 foot spread. It's heavy as hell though. Should be fun
