    And to the OP...don't sweat it man.

    It doesn't get complicated until you get over 12' wide...from there on up, here in the east, it goes downhill fast (curfews, escorts, etc.)

    West of I35...even 13 feet isn't all that bad.

    Over 14'...is a headache in all but about 3-4 states.

    As stated previously, its a sticker and must be purchased and sent to you. Lead time is 2 weeks. Landstar stocks them as I'm sure other large companies probably do as well. This is what it looks like[​IMG]

    if you have an amber light on the vehicle, you must have the permit, if the light is on or not.

    Even the escorts have to have that permit.

    Most important in Georgia, go to right at the scale and pull up on the scale behind the building. Do not follow the lights no matter what they say, even if the Pope is out there waving you around, go to the rear.

    you can run with the application and a copy of money order until you get the sticker. they will accept that.
