Broker blues

I dunno, but send them my way.

 

I saw my 'competition' the other day with a clearly over width load, just a-tootling along, no flags banners or nothing.

 

That almost always makes me about blow a gasket. It's one thing if you get in over your head on accident and bow out when you realize what you're into. It's quite another to be like, "Ehhhhh, #### it, this is fine."

 

I see it about every week lately - I mean, clearly over dimensional loads without any flags or banners.

It's one thing to flag it and go, without permits - another to openly display foolishness.

 

Yes. I have seen some pretty wide loads myself without flags or banners. Not into oversize myself so don't know the regs but thought - looks kind of sketchy !!

 

in different jurisdictions banners are not required for oversize loads until a certain width or height. Same as flags or flashy lights. Certain states have different rules in some even for different parts of the state

 

Just because you see it on a load board doesn't mean it's getting moved. Even when it gets taken down doesn mean it got moved either. Same goes for their posted rate. Sometimes these guys are just fishing and testing the waters hoping to find someone willing to do it.

 

Saw that last week.in Wyoming. 12' ish wide, no banners, no flags. White Volvo from BC.
