Saying you can’t permit a divisible load is correct but confusing. If that load could be “divided” and then be legal dimensions it’s considered divisible.
Another clearer way to say it is you can not create an over dimensions load. Like this one loading two 5’ pieces next to each other.
I understand what you’re saying because I do it too. Loading multiple pieces with one or all being oversize. A multiple piece load is not the same as divisible. -
To the shipper--Can you weld a couple brackets on to connect those pieces?
Not that I have ever done that.1951 ford Thanks this. -
You cannot permit a divisible load load for width if the side by side loading causes an over width condition or increase the width.
That is why states ask the question loaded or towed
Then ask loaded single or side by side.
You cannot load a 4’ wide piece next to a 6’ wide piece and permit for 10’ width ... -
In that type of situation yes you are correct.
But the blind statement that you can not permit divisible loads for width is not true.

I guess that more clarity is reuired for some here. The load pictures posted by the OP were of a divisible load that cannot be permitted for width.

In Montana raw logs can be 9’ wide. Something I read in their oversize load regulations. Bringing it through Idaho I was not legal even with the permit like is discussed. It happened though, and I will not do it again. In the situation I was in I chose to risk it since I was already rolling down the road before it became an issue.

And the blind statement that you can permit any divisible load for width is equally untrue.TripleSix, 4mer trucker, SAR and 2 others Thank this.

Except that I included examples when I made that statement.
Maybe read more than the first line go take a class on the English language.
