    It was only 15'1". Haha, I questioned them three times about the wire guides. But if the customer wanted them it will be done.

    14.6 wide with an overall length of 112 ft. Needed a little extra space to turn around :)

    The wire guides are why I asked that question. I'm still wet behind the ears with most of my over size being long and wide, up to 20' wide. There are a few tall loads of crates we pull here around 15' tall out of the port in Newark. At the height you bother with wire sliders? Guys here look at me like I have 3 heads when I ask about them.

    Saw this and thought of a couple of you all. Only in a good way, of course.

    I have seen wires ripped down by 14'6" loads.

    My take on it is, you have the stripping why not use it when you are overheight, even by a little.

    This is the load in question. My thoughts were to take two 4" straps and hook them, hook down, to the first strap running over the top. Then just snug them up to the front deck as far out as I can.
