    Not sure in other states but , here in ky. My last information was 17’ over secondary roads and 21’ over primary roads for any utility overhead. I’ve pulled several down hauling big iron but, over 15’ I had a wire pitcher on secondary roads, just to keep the natives from complaining. As for being road legal height on so called public and private property- the business while open is considered public and during closed time is private property. Unless a height restriction sign with footage is posted I don’t see you are responsible. But I’m not sure as to the law in that location.

    Mods, If you're going to change the name of my thread at least spell things correctly.
