My First Over Height Load - 14'2"

Check the regulations where you are, most states its ok. Ohio I didn't used to be and it's plausible that there are other states where's it not. And I'm telling you for a FACT that they would bust you for it and there was NO excuse that would stand up in court.

 

How long you been driving now?

 

June of 97

 

Nice. I always appreciate how knowledgable you are. And you have the experience to back it up.

 

Started hauling grain and farm machinery, in 99 I started in a lowboy full time. Summer of 10 to spring of 12 I hauled freight and groceries then back in a drag. Probably stay here for a while I guess, after seeing how the others live I'm not interested.

 

@johndeere4020 is great one to know for sure. Both as a man and a machine

 

There is one on US 30 in PA & need escort on mine permite

 

There is one on US 30 & need escourt, 10

 

PA truckstop must be on permit.
Ohio spells it all out on permit, so does Indiana. In Illinois you must not cross any structures, it cost 30k to cross the bridge on i39 at Rochelle to go to the Petro with a 13 axle.

In PA if you take a exit (if not to ramp a bridge) when you cross the hwy to go back on you are off route. If the Hwy has a low weight rating you are screwed.

They found out that oil companies would pay quickly because they needed the piece to put the rig together I know on overweight of some as high as 35k.

My question is why haul over height on a step. Use the proper trailer and be legal height.

 

Ohio rules

THIS MUST BE A NON-DIVISIBLE LOAD IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5501:2-1-01 OF THE OHIO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. MAXIMUM PERMITTED SPEED MAY NOT EXCEED 55 MPH.--

The permittee is authorized to exit the permitted route at any State Highway intersection for food, fuel, rest, or repair provided that the hauler does not travel more than 5,280 feet (1 mile) from the interchange (measured as a lane mile from the junction of the off ramp) and does not cross under (if permitted height exceeds 13 feet 6 inches) or over any structure (structure is defined as anything 10 feet wide or greater). When re-entering the permitted route, the permittee must abide by the same restrictions as when exiting the permitted route. By traveling more than 5,280 feet (1 mile) or crossing over or under (if permitted height exceeds 13 feet 6 inches) any structure the permittee will be considered off route. In the event that the permittee travels beyond the one mile limit, crosses a structure within the one mile variance, or violates any other provision of the permit, the permittee is in violation and subject to applicable fines and penalties. The permittee should have the ability to see the facility where they are stopping from the permitted route. ODOT recommends that the permittee familiarize themselves with the various exits and entrances they may choose. Permission to travel county or township roads, local streets not part of the State Route, or the Ohio Turnpike must be obtained from the proper authorities. All Permitted Loads Must Stop At All Weigh Stations Regardless of In-Cab Transponder Signal.
