Oversize Help

In TN you don't cross the scale, just go to the back and take your permit inside, no matter what the light says. Same in GA

 

thats what i said, in ga i pull around and hang the permit out the window and make come look if he wants, they lots of times tell ya go ahead.

and at the knoxville, tn scale for god sakes go in the correct door or that s.o.b. gets all riled up, lol

 

It's not that you went in the wrong door,it was the mankini that startled him.

 

Half of those phone numbers in there no longer work! I would even bet that some of the laws have even change.

 

Your not supposed to run at night. Supposed to be parked 30 min after the sun sets, and can start back up after 30 min before the sun rises. If you know the area that your running like me, you can get away with running at night, it will only hang off a few inchs each side off a 102 trailer.

 

If you move an oversized load in violation of your permit, you are taking a very big risk. If you are caught you will pay a very big fine. If you are involved in an accident, regardless of fault, you will receive a very big fine and could be held liable for the accident just because you were not supposed to on the road at the time. I find it much better to follow the rules. If you can't or don't want to follow the rules then don't haul oversized freight. The risks are too great for any perceived benefits.

 

Sound advice and the truth, people that want to run outlaw with all the rules just makes it more difficult to run legal.

I used to pull superwagon, it was overweight empty and still had to run legal no matter what since if someone hit me it was all over.
