Black Hills on overweight permit!!???

I ran from western Canada to Texas and back for 20 years or so averaging 2 trips per month with trips all over the us in between.

 

Dude after I got down on 85 to about 25 miles North of Spearfish, I got behind some oversize slug, and I just wanted to F kill him. And the 90 miles above that to Bowman was PACKED ice and snow. Dunno if it snowed, or just from yesterday's wind storm, but it was F'd. All the way down from 94 too.

But do everyone a favor, just use a helo & don't bog down the 2 lane.

 

That must not be the whole story. I have been through that scale oversize before. That’s a scale where you have to be on your game and know the regulations because they #### sure don’t. They tried to make a big deal about me not having an approved written route with an annual permit. I was all of 3 inches over width. I have also been routed over weight on i35 just not through that scale. There is currently a 12’ restriction on i35 at the ok/ks line.

 

Every oversized I've ever pulled going into western ND or North Portal has been on either US 83 or 281 in SD.

 

Dude. It was SO F'd. LOL.

The bridges on 85 LOL.

FUHGET ABOUT IT. LMFAO.

 

When I was moving pumps around oh-pa-wv the permits would always put us on a 2 lane instead of the big road for some reason. JJ keller did ours
