    Run Utah a lot... Never been hassled about axle positioning... Even when slammed clear to the rear.

    In that case I stand corrected.
    I was going by a forum post from 2 years ago.
    I trust your reference way more

    Either way. That POE is down for the moment.

    Yes it was down on the 3rd when I went past it... They got the scale out of the ground.

    There is a note in the trucker atlas that points to Vermont (which has the 41' restriction) and I can see how someone could too easily mistake that note as applying to Utah, not Vermont due to it's location, size and arrow.

    The only thing I knew about Utah, and hopefully they have changed this, but if you had a drom even a 2 foot one, they considered it a flat bed truck, which made a 53 illegal. I only knew of a couple of times they nailed someone for it though.

    Tenn does measure, especially when the Gorge is closed and everybody has to run up 26 to 81south. that south bound scale will take the tape out.

    I believe there has been another rock slide, so over the mtn. you go.
     
    truckdriver31, paul_4lp and Lepton1 Thank this.
