    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.

    Pretty normal to have tall plastic pipe loads, they know, they just dont care, least favorite one was near wilkes barre all the way into chicago at about 13' 11"

    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.
