do DOT inspections count against your elog time?

Jon,

How far out was the front extentions? Any distance over 53' will be considered overhang on a high mount. They don't just measure from the end of the ramp or decking. So if he had 4 units across the top it could have easily been 5 or more foot of ovethang.

 

@brian991219 funny why on the inspection sheet it reads allowed 3’ max.
As far as I know no overhang is allowed legally on a high mount?
It’s like like they applied the law for stinger steered?
But I guess it doesn’t matter because even if it was a stinger I believe 5.9 feet would still be to much?

 

In California you may take the CDL test in your preferred language.

 

Dennis,

Maybe they quoted the permissible for a traditional flatbed with a non-divisible load? Many states allow some overhang for one piece loads just not for cars unless a stinger.

 

Interesting
I wasn’t even thinking about non divisible loads.
I guess I can’t think beyond car hauling lol

 

Some of these replies cause a person to not want to ask any questions. Maybe next time you have a question put an asterisk beside it ***only those with helpful advice respond, those who have never made a mistake please refrain*** I think some of your biggest critics seem to forget how much less about trucking they knew when they started. I am only 32+ years in and I know a whole lot more today than I did in 1987, but I am still learning something new all the time. Maybe next time PM @brian991219 as he knows more about the specific industry regs than most of us and is always willing to help.

 

there is an option for a roadside inspection on my eld...
