    I thought Kentucky allowed 24/7 movement (not including curfews).

    Also, how is a load to NC getting you home to FL?

    I cannot speak for anyone but myself, when I dragged a Birmingham my route was planned days in advance, two stopping places, plan A and B. Sometimes the state or if you are police escort will shut you down when they feel it is needed.

    Sometimes yes and sometimes no, the permit in hand is the bible in Kentucky.

    My fault, that was Minnesota, not Kentucky about the night driving. Don't know how I mixed that up.

    Also, its going to NC, then I'll moat likely go down to SC to get plywood going to FL

    Watch your bridge hgts. in NC.
    They still have some low bridges... There are like 3 of them on I26 just north of Ashville. Not sure the way you are going, but 13' 8" can still get you in a world of hurt..

    Thank you.

    My route in NC is i40 east exit 46 to i26 southeast to exit 67, us74 to i85N, i485S x51, us74E all the way. They have me taking the us74 bypasses around rockingham, hamlet, laurenburg, and maxton. Then i95N to x20, NC211N, NC41E, NC87 bypass, US701N. Then it has local directions to the consignee in Elizabethtown.

    Ummmm... I go right through there on i95 in lumberton. Is this where calling jurisdictions would come in to play? Since the atlas only shows what's 13'6" or less?

    I take i95 to exit 20 which is nc211 and that goes through the outskirts of lumberton on the north east side of town.

    there is a town on 74 west of Monroe a ways. You make a right curve and there is a R.R. bridge there.
    Been awhile it was like 14' high. Watch the trl bounce going under bridges.

    sounds like you may have too much air in those tractor tires.
