Overlength With No Escort

Wonder if he'd have been legal had he loaded the jeep and booster on the lowbed.

 

I thought this was about something completely different…. Maybe some cb code

 

No. It’s a 65’ overall road.

 

Talked to a friend of mine out in CA that does heavy haul. He said in addition to the length he will get a ticket for being 10ft wide without an escort and Placer County could pull his unladen permit if they want. He said this guy would’ve been 100% legal if he had a pilot car.

 

I’ve seen some over length low boys running empty with a pilot car behind them, at first I was like WTH, he’s empty, until I asked a friend and the answer was like already said on here, it’s about the LENGTH.

 

The rules are different in EVERY state

I know a guy that regularly hauls a load that’s 99.5 long and 15.5 wide

which only requires one escort car if it’s under 100 feet , but he always uses two , cause his cargo costs $50 million .

but you gotta read the permit .
It’s different in every state and every big city has a curfew time twice a day usually .
No oversize during rush hour .

 

And in Arkansas if it’s one continuous length, ie pipe or steel beam, length is ok, no escort needed.
Used to be anyways.
