I've searched everywhere I can online and don't see restrictions other than 46k lb per tandem.
Anybody know for sure?

Thank you Sir!

No problems, just don't get in a hurry. I've seen the routes you like to take - enjoy the scenery. The road from Sawmill Station to Stanley gets pretty narrow along the river, but we have hauled numerous wide and heavy loads through there. Tourism traffic will be the worst of it, but you will see some beautiful views along the river and in Stanley Basin, and probably lots of rafters on the river. Might watch for Big Horn Sheep just out of Challis, and Mountain Goats reside there as well, but they are usually up high in the rocks. Sun Valley is a zoo with traffic, but no issues other than that. Galena Summit isn't all that steep or long, just a bit windy on the south side.

Thanks to you both! Much appreciated

With a 48ft trailer you’re really only affected by the few restricted roads listed in the atlas. Once over 48ft everything changes.

BTW, stopped in Stanley. Awesome drive so far. The views can't be beat. Didn't pass another dash flip flopper along the way. And a hot sping along the way. I'll remember for next timetscottme, D.Tibbitt, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this. -

Don’t take hwy 21. I had to bobtail down to Boise once to pick up a new trailer and thought to myself that I’d probably never have another chance to run 21 in the summer so I did it bobtail. And there were still some switchbacks that were tight with just the truck. Lol.
tscottme, Oxbow, Big Road Skateboard and 2 others Thank this.
