    Has anyone else been having trouble getting permits from Indiana? According to 'the company', I could run on an annual up to 12'4 wide but 4" over height is causing some sort of snafu with IN's end. I think someone is blowing smoke as width is normally more of an issue than width until you get over 14'. I've been waiting 2 days so far just for Indiana when all my other permits are already in.

    Yes Indiana is backed up. 72 hr wait. When you start getting over 14.5 in height it can be an issue in indiana.

    I've been in Champaign since Tuesday. Other drivers have gone through already by purchasing the 90 day blanket for $100 but that's only good for legal height.

    There are a lot in this company that only measure in the center, not at the highest point. 20190809_112314.jpg
    I'm waiting for someone to tell me I've over secured this thing with 12pts of contact...LoL. 4 chains, 6 J-hooks and 12 binders.

    Heck, I'm only 13'10 and having to wait.
    Good to hear it confirmed from sources other than those at the company.

    Had that discussion with dispatch. There are 2 4X6s and 2 2X8s all stacked and bolted together on each corner. Just removing one or both 2X8s would make it legal height.
