My First Over Height Load - 14'2"

I noticed that myself. Did an oversize load once and stopped near Vegas for the night. Load was scheduled for delivery at 11am and if I waited until sunrise to leave I would be late as I was still about 6 hours away.I looked closer at Nevada and California permits and realized I could drive at night with my load on the roads I would be on so I left out about 4:30am while still dark and made it on time. 2 separate California weigh stations did not stop me to check if I had permits. I find that most places I do have stop at weigh stations when hauling an oversize load if only to check if I have a permit.

 

Did you have your required 24/7 conditions sheet ? And have the load lit?


As general rule California is not. It the pain that some other states are....

 

California does have a lot of attachments that one might need.

They also have a permit manual, which is a webpage linking to a number of pages with the rules you must follow. Some of them seem pretty outdated, like it's a scan of a page that was done on a typewriter, nonetheless it's readable and you do need to know what's in the relevant parts.

 

I still wouldn't wamma go to Commifornia unless told to as a company driver but once I get at least a few years of company under my belt I plan on becomong an O/O and then I wouldn't have to even hit that state. To HELL with Commifonia then!!!!!

 

Call @Rontonio, he's great for shagging outside carriers lds onto Ca.for a fee.
Not cheap, but fair pricing and dependable...

 

Is he charging extra for the new mandatory tire inspection?

 

My deal was all inclusive, plus he had to change out a tire that didn't like the Ca.desert.. thank goodness for a spare.lol

 

You need to just actually get some miles under your belt. Until then how bout you sit back and learn a bit.....

 

What exactly does he have to sit back and learn? It doesn't take a rocket scientists to understand that a state with CARB enforcement, a 55mph limit for trucks, and bad traffic isn't one that you want to visit on a regular basis, if ever.

 

In my 26 years driving I have only been a California 4 times. If it weren't for the money they offered me to go I would have no reason to cross the state line.
