14' trailer through Eisenhower tunnel ?

Maybe with overheight permit and designated routing.

Tall loads DO move throughout the entire country.

But as a general hauler. Without permits. I'd say the answer is NO.

The highway infrastructure is different on the west compared to the east. Not only in height but also in weight.

On the west. No one is hauling heavy without the axles to support the weight. The east allows it without the axles.

Although I wouldn't want to be anywhere around a 10 wheeler. Specially with the lack of proper brakes that seem to get ignored.

 

Are you sure about that?

 

Isn't that what the forum posts?

10 wheels hauling 76 east vs 56 west.

 

He still doesn’t know about the whole divisible vs. non-divisible thingy…………..among many others things…..

 

In general, with divisible loads, in the western states your max gross is what you can bridge. In general, with divisible loads, in the western states you need the axles to be able to bridge the weight you want to carry.

 

Turns out it was a tiny home 30x8.5 and 14 ft tall going all the way to Maine from western WA. I guess you'd need an OS permit to legally haul that starting in MN or IA depending on which way you went. Good luck getting anybody to haul that for a non permit load rate. I thought it might have been a enclosed cargo trailer but I'd be surprised if any of those get built taller than 13-6.

 

I can tell you for certain that load won't be allowed on the NY Thruway, so just for NY, you'll need permits and will be doing surface roads. Same with VT and NH. Wouldn't even consider hauling O/H through MA......

Sounds like that manufacturer only ever planned to ship through the west coast states....Might be cheaper to route it in-transit through Canada?

 

I don't?????

I've been hauling divisible for the past 8 years.

Sorry bout your luck

 

For at least the last decade, TTR is acutely aware that you know ALL about divisible…………



it’s everything else that you THINK you know that gets you into trouble!

 

Cept I'm not getting into trouble.

Because I actually DOOOOO know.
