Post your flatbed load pictures here

Shc, I believe you are correct. Maybe he's rolling the dice on that one...

 

Ya, Iowa will bust ya for overhanging the front

 

SHC,My trailer is a 51', with 41' of lower deck. The rear tires overhung 2' which essentialy makes "53", and I believe it to be legal. If it overhung say 3 ft, then I believe it would require an oversize permit. I've had a lot of loads that overhung 2ft, so I honestly can say I'd never buy a 48' step, ever.

 

Here's the mess I loaded up today. Finally got it all to settle down after stopping 4 times to add and tighten straps, and it only went 108 miles lol

 

Mine is a 51' as well, same setup

 

I agree, that looks the aftermath of a train wreck.

 

Actually you would have to take one off or move the front one up onto the upper deck some.

If memory serves me correct your load can be 53' long. Anything over it needs a permit. But, it can only be one piece. In most states you can go 2' over hang in the front.

 

Educate them SHC

 

Not entirely true, it can differ from state to state, but I ran some wide loads out of GA to IA with five feet off the back and only had to permit for the width, not the over hang. I have also hauled loads out of LA that had over hang of one foot in the front and rear, that had to be permitted on two lane roads but four lane highways or interstate was legal.
