    If your talking about overhang for a flatbed you can try an app called heavy haul. I use it every now and then for oversized loads before a trip and it gives states law and reg on over dimensional loadx requirements

    Exactly. I always set my tandems at Ca and adjust from there if needed.

    Overhang law for a stinger is 4' off the front and 6' off the back. Nothing over 90' overall. That's the federal law per the Fast act.
