    Should be good to go then.

    Should you plan on running oversized loads, a good idea is to get a copy of one of these books.
    US Truckers Regulations on Oversize Load & Pilot Car
    Permit Guide for Oversize Loads

    While they are good references, they are not the end all to be all. Your permit is the primary info.

    Not trying to be an A Hole, I promise.

    Don’t guess. Know. In OSOW (oversized and overweight), the thing that brings the most succe$$ is knowledge. The permits may not say anything about beacon lights. However that exact same permit might bring attention to a state oversized provision sheet. A provision sheet will tell you everything that the permit doesn’t. Don’t just do the job, be good at what you do.

    Six back quiet.
