    If the load can't be reduced to be legal weight. It's non divisible. One piece loads.

    I've never been told 8 hhours. But 2 containers have been brought up.

    As for the op. He keeps talking about weights when that's clearly not the issue.
    It's the overhang on the side.

    You don’t read very carefully. I used weights as an example once. The first post is about nothing other than the overhang.

    I read it. And saw the topic went from overhang to weights. Was that careful enough?

    That is a divisible load.


    If someone wants a 60' long board and they get 2-30' boards, someone won't be happy. Not all logs are divisible to fill an order.


    The reason 3rd party trucks (you) are hired to ship out of state. Some drivers don't object but the shipper knows it's not legal.

    What is the commodity being shipped. The crates or a product in the crates?

    Not careful enough. I didn’t bring up divisible load, etc. I just wanted clarification on how I saw two of THEIR company trucks roll out loaded just like the photo under what THEY claim is an Ag exemption. My load was made legal before it left THEIR property. The weight example is brought up just to show my limited knowledge of how an Ag exemption applies. Seems they’re getting one over on TX DOT

    We’re they going to put apples in the crates? I personally think they are full of #### or just clueless. Just because something was once growing doesn’t mean it qualifies as agriculture.

    That's like calling an iPad an agricultural item because it's made by Apple. The length some shippers will go to to break the law just astounds me at times.

    Nope crates went to a steel company in OH. I would’ve just chalked it up to the guy trying to get one over on me but I saw two of their company trucks roll out loaded 3 crates wide, just like my picture. One was bound for OK, the other to TX which was intrastate.
