    Getting ready to pull the tallest load I've had the chance to, at 14' 5"

    Got three overpasses on a US highway to contend with and some on the interstate.

    How do you find out what the height of those bridges are other than just measuring them?

    The state approved the oversized permit but I didn't know if they check that or just say "Yeah it looks fine"

    You're not required to have a pole car? I know I picked up a 14'6 in IA going to SD and a pole car was required.

    I wouldn't trust Indiana's bridge heights...LoL. You might find a lump under one that causes you to hit it.
