    I'm curious, do you hold Cargo Insurance limits high enough to cover such loads, bump it up as needed for individual loads, or perhaps you have an agreement with your customer to cover the value? You obviously fulfill kind of a niche demand for your customer. It's neat to see!

    Most of what I haul falls under my cargo insurance($150k). When I'm hauling for the local rigger/machine mover I'm covered by his insurance($1 million). Definitely a niche within the trucking industry. Have 10-12 regular customers that keep me busy enough.

    Thanks. I wasn't meaning to pry, but carrying over a million all the time adds up. Makes sense.

    But 9'2" is so....these suck because they aren't really OD but come with all of the hassle out east like 55 mph speed restrictions. It's the last ones for a bit unless I see more $'s, I'm getting burned out on on these. My world for a simple cable run lol. Spoiled trucker :)

    Idk. I’m from out east and I wouldn’t even buy a permit for that. But I understand you are a company guy and as such have company rules.
