I currently have a load going from Tennessee to California that is 10’ wide and was wondering if I need beacon lights if I will be driving during daylight hours. I’ve looked it up online and can’t seem to find a for sure answer on this.

So I also need beacons to run during daylight hours ?

All the information you need is on them.. some might require beacons others may not, you will have curfews thru metro areas, some states may allow you to run at night some may not.cke, CAXPT, Razororange and 6 others Thank this. -

I ran oversize in Arkansas. At that time they didn’t require beacons, just flags on the corners and oversize load banners on front and back. Definitely couldn’t run at nights, which you aren’t anyway.

thankyou for your reply

I know my arizona permits doesnt list any lighting requirements on the permit itself but will list it the same way as previously mentioned... Then u got to go look up the regulation online for it... The best way to do that is go directly to the state site that ends in .gov .. stay away from the spammy heavy haul generic google searches, lots of bad info on there..
Heres an example of what i mean .. check your permits for stuff like this it can get u in trouble if u overlook it. And all the info u need will be there.

Sounds good ! I will check for these, thankyou for the great advice
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
At 10 wide, flags and banners should be all you need for daylight running.
