    FL won't issue a permit until you accept replspinsibilty if something goes askew.

    Almost every permit is worded that if "S*** goes wrong, it is on you driva"

    I've not done permit loads here but I am figuring from what I have read from the other guys in here it is no different.

    Once you take responsibility for the load as a driver regardless of permits it's on you!!

    That means you hit a wrongly marked bridge your fault. go off route for fuel, your fault. Take out a low power line because you "thought it was high enough" guess who's fronting that bill? You got it.......

    Would I be correct @johndeere4020

    At a minimum.
    Another part they put in there is "no convoy hauling" that oversized loads need to be "at least 2 miles apart"
    Now, how in the ####, would you know if someone else is running a oversize load within 2 miles of you on the same road?? This is the northeast: I can think of exactly 1 place in the state of CT that you could actually see that far ahead of you.
    If you ain't "running together" how would you know the other person is even there?

    Then they're like "it's ######## that you broke the law"
    ITS A ######## LAW
