    as long as theres no bridges you have to go over I wouldnt even worry about it

    frankly celt, you are asking a bunch of truckers who really cannot tell you....

    you NEED to ask your local PD from each county, and someone from the state, (cover all base's) then seriously, abide by thier "requests"......

    you would be in violations of whomever posted the signs and local ordinances as well.

    weight limits are SET for a reason. to disobey them warrants fines. it's that simple, like they all will say, "tell it to the judge".......

    find an area to park it away from the towns, call your wife, get a ride back and forth.

    Most folks are going to ignore that mile and then plead innocence if caught.

    Thats what I'd do. Once caught then you'll have to find another parking spot and either leave a vehicle or call for a ride.

    DOT said come home empty, but make sure the axles are below 6.5 tons..

    DOT also told me the weight restriction may be lifted in the near future. My road is schedule for strengthening..
