    I'm not a heavy hauler, but just wanted to throw this in:

    I was on a rig move a few years ago from Keen's old yard in Tulsa to Big Lake, TX. Three of my runnin' buddies and I all got the subs. Light loads. 15' tall. All of us were the same weight/dimensions, running the same day.

    Wichita Falls. My permit has me jump off of 44 on 287, run a mile up the road, exit, go across, come back down and get back on. Obviously to avoid that 15'3" overpass. Did the others have to do it? Nope.

    All permitted for the SAME dimensions.
    I guess they just don't like me.

    Nah, they liked you better! They knew you were a safe operator and that you'd rather not take close proximity chances, so they gave you a route around the potential accident your buddies were about to have...lol

    Seen this happen a bunch of times. I refer you back to my thoughts on them sitting around smoking dope & throwing darts at the map for routing purposes.

    Or they route your 14 wide into construction that has the lane cut down to 12 wide. TN has done that twice to me.
