[QUOTE="roundhouse, post: 12166572, member: 220225"]Also when you get your permits from the states , that tells you your routing , get them and a map and trace it on the map and make notes on the permit , The permit will say “north on state hwy 59 , east on US hwy 178” etc take a look at those and make notes : is it a left turn , right turn etc , landmarks etc the permit will say “exit interstate at US hwy 129” what exit number is it ? Make that note on the permit . and if you’re gonna do it much , a new iPad with cell service is worth it because the Google maps is so much easier to use on an iPad than on a phone . If you’re Oversize you will have to be parked 30 min before sunset in most states , and park your rig so you won’t get blocked in when the truck stop is overfull in the morning , And don’t forget that usually with a permitted load you have to stop at EVERY weigh station and walk the permit inside .[/QUOTE]
