    Ok, so he probably should have had a flag at the end, technically probably two, but given the lighting conditions it's not as if that would actually help visibility in any way, that's a very visible load. So what exactly do you find unsafe about it?

    So what exactly is your point? Are they just supposed to not move 80 foot power poles?

    Maybe it's just me, but if one of us was over 80ft long we'd have to have ##### and escorts.

    I haul poles up to 80 feet in California without so much as a permit. Even longer in some states.

    The perspective of these two pictures don't do them justice. There is better than thirty feet of tail, 120' overall in the first picture and near thirty feet of tail and 110' overall in the second picture. Both of these did get two private and two police escorts due to the destination.
