    I guess I will be the only idiot who asks this but... are you SURE that's 13'10"? I mean from my phone screen it looks like a pretty standard pipe load and doesn't really jump out at me as being obviously too tall.

    275 to 696 as @BigBob410 suggested. I looked at @Old Man 's way as well, and it puts me on 275 anyway.

    If you guys want to play around with the route, I'm currently on I-70, and going here:

    It looked normal to me too. The pipe is 8' 10" off the deck, and there's a hump all the way around that makes it just a little bit taller. My deck is normally 60 1/4 inches at the blinker, but it's sitting at 59" right now. So the load is right around 13' 9.5"

    I believe you, and now that I look a little closer I see the top bundle is 3 layers and the others are only 2. I wonder if they did that by accident? Seems like a pipe loader should know what they are doing but maybe you got the new guy.

    Yeah I learned about it on a Canadian hydrovac page that I used to check out when I was operating a hydrovac.

    Where does DOT for each state have routes posted.

    In Memphis you go straight on Crump at the end of bridge, turn right on Florida the left on S Parkway to 69 north to I 40, no extra miles and a free tour of the hood.
