Heavy Haul Factoid

You cannot obtain a permit for a load that uses multiple pieces to make it over dimensional. For instance, you cannot put two 6’ wide generators together side-by-side to make a 12’ wide load. You cannot stack lumber 9’6” high on a flatbed either. Same thing for putting multiple pieces end-to-end. This is also true for overweight loads. You cannot permit a reducible load for overweight. Any overweight load must be a single piece. If the load is heavy enough, states will require explanations as to why a single piece cannot be broken down further.
