What’s the general rule for over length freight like that? The first load I did last week, was galvanized beams and I was over about 4’ in the rear and 1’ in the front. Some reason I remember you’re allowed 4’ but I don’t have proof…

Maximum Load Length – The length limit varies depending on whether the load travels on the Federal Interstate system, U S Highways or State highways. In some situations, loads can overhang 4′ off a 48′ trailer. No overhang is allowed on 53′ trailers.
Loads exceeding 53′ can be transported on properly permitted stretch trailers.
The load maximums apply to the load and trailer combined. The height maximum, for example is 13’6″ from the ground including both the trailer and the load.

I vaguely remember it being 3 ft, maximum, front and/or back, but this reference says it's DOT, and I'm not sure if it's newer than I remember..so...I could be wrong or it could have been changed or this reference is wrong...but there you go, and like the others say, it varies by state after the federal minimum whether it needs a permit or not beyond that.God prefers Diesels, D.Tibbitt, booley and 2 others Thank this. -
