My tip of the day is...... before you order any permits..... measure your load. Before you load up the trailer. Do not trust anyone's measurements but yours. Then proceed.

How would measuring the load be possible if the load itself is not in close proximity?

Well....when you get there you re-measure your load. Because dimensions and weight also determined whether if you will get all of your permits on time depends on how many states you're crossing and it could be a change of price load for your benefit if you're a owner operator.

Next time you get a oversized load you should do a video on putting all your flags on your load 👍

When I ran through Ohio, I was told if I wanted to stop at a truckstop, it HAD to be on my permit directions. Ohio gives zero tolerance for Oversize out of route. I also used to write my directions on the top left corner of my windshield with a dry erase marker. Great tips and info Brian.

They changed that finally! Just don't cross a structure and you're OK to stop for fuel or rest now

They changed that took them long enough. But it has to be on the same side your traveling (No bridges). Now I wish they would grant 80k on a quad vs only 3+1 and Illinois only giving 57k on a tri.

Bro, I'm in the refrigeration business, however I did enjoy the amount of effort you put into explaining the laws. Much respect to you flatbedders. ☮️ from Cali.

Extra chains are useful, on these loads equipment can shift and chain snap. Double check those binders, the ratchet type break easily. Do not assume anything, plan it. Know and understand the permits as you mentioned! Great tips Brian,

Appreciate you taking time to make these videos!!!

Very good information. Thank you for your effort in making these videos, for the rest of us to use as reference.

Thanks Brian, for helping me understand just how many laws I used to break. I didn’t pay any attention to any of the other laws back then, so it probably would not have made much of a difference. However, should I ever decide to start running oversized loads again at any point-good chance actually-I will make sure to watch this again, and actually take the time to learn the rules of the road.

Kind of you to share what you've learned! Thank you! 👍

Come heavy or dont came at all.. 19 months in trucking total...I came into the game to go heavy...I love it, Dump trucks, excavators, wheel loaders and plenty of time to work out.

Good info and thank you for sharing

Good job. On point. 😎👍

Thank for information 💯 I've been a BCO since 17' and I'm going for the securmint class hopefully B4 Thanksgiving

This is great 👍🏻

I really appreciate your videos. I'm learning heavy haul and I really want to be an Owner Operator. Wish me luck for the future. Thanks again

Great video

You just got a new subscriber. 👍

I like your shirt. I just moved to Alabama and am going to a talladega race in October.

Tape measure, height stick, set of tools, cb radio. Of course caons binders ect. If running rgn take your time ask questions, before loading equipment. Always plan ahead for a place to stop. If you need to take 2 lanes do it. Make sure the pilot calls out all turns and bridge over passes. You're a team sometimes hauling million dollar equipment. So no room for errors. Every move should be calculated. TAKE YOUR TIME.

Well done... I need to hire you as my safety officer.

Great video. 99% of my loads are OD. We run blanket permits in the states that issue them. It would sure be nice if every state could use the same rules. Some states do not allow beacons under a certain width,and some states require beacon light permits. Also check regulations for the pilot car requirements,particularly equipment and certificates. When measuring the load pay special attention to your axle spacing. And like you mentioned flags and signs must be certain size and color which varies state to state. Basically,measure correctly,get the correct permit,( don't forget to check to see if you need additional permits for turnpikes and toll roads) then read read read the permit,pre check your routes and even hand write them on a sticky note. Some states have speed restrictions. Some states you must enter all weigh stations,some states you are not allowed in weigh stations. And last but not least when running empty or non permit loads,for Petes sake take your flags and signs down lol. Stay safe

Axle spacing and measuring load? Does it affect the length? 75' max regardless correct

The “Tennessee” Cough Got Me Lol

💥 Been trucking for 6 months and gotten to do a handful of OD loads with my current company. These permits are RIDICULOUS, the format, the difference from state to state, the requirements like WTF man!

Can you make a video about why the tri axle low pro step is the trailer you should have gotten? Really interested from your perspective, Ive watched your other videos that touch on it already but feel there is stuff im missing. Cheers!

Leant a lot here thanks for sharing

Thanks

for rear "o/s sign" on the rear of a step deck/flatbed, get some small pipe stakes (2' long or so or cut some bigger ones down), put them in the rear most stakes (usually right at the rear). and then boom, bungee the sign to the stakes. problem solved, doesn't cover the lights.

Hello, just wondering if you have any video of what is on a rate con (rate sheet)? Or even what it looks like.

Hey I love your channel, quick question Do you know any company can offers you a training as step deck ? I'm in NY

Blanket permits are your best friend! Carry a red pen a black pen and a blue pen to sign permits. Carry both red and orange flags. Make sure you have a current os1a of you're in Ohio. You're in Texas, it's an extra $30 for a 30 day blanket permit that's worth every penny ! Spend the money for reflective banners thru do cost more but the quality is phenomenal and you'll be nighttime legal in the few states that require them. Ms Carita stuff is top shelf. Magnetic mounts for flags are another great option for some loads. And lastly ask questions. Illinois for example will gladly sell you a permit for 60 foot beams and you don't need a permit. Arkansas will sell you a permit for 60 foot beams that you only need if you plan on running in the dark. Ect ect ect good informative video my man if you ever need info on oversize feel free to ask I've probably ran more miles OD than I have with legal loads.

Best led light bars for trucks? Currently hauling round bales but will be looking for new loads after truck gets out of shop. FYI I'm new to this flatbedding, was in livestock.

If your trailer doesn’t have rear flashing amber lights, can you use your 4-way flashers? Asking for in Wisconsin.

Any tips for measuring Truck and Trailer. Don’t know any details about oversized loads or permit companies. Thanks.

They make (and the name escapes me) magnetic strobe lights. come on a little base, and in either red or amber. and they can be set to solid, flash or fast flash. These things are great, they last for a long time and the magnet is seriously stiff. (if you're hauling wood frames, well they don't work) but they work awesome on anything magnetic. They were about $50 each probably a little more now. They won't come off. They do get stolen......but they won't just come off. They also make magnetic bases. they have the base and then a small ring. Hook the base to your load, put a locking caribeaner on it and hook your flag to it. bam, done. they do not come off.

Those sunglasses are bad ass, are they Costas?

What’s the best platform to find oversized loads?

Hi. Do I need a permit to haul 100 000 lbs if I have 3 axle in my trailer ? Or is that only I have 2 axels ?

Your sunglasses are cool what are they

How much did you pay for your trailer?

Just realized you're in Indiana. Maybe I will see you out there driver. I'm a local O/O servicing 200 miles from Indy. Great freight out here, and love sleeping in my bed. Landstar has given me some decent spot freight in my time!

Don’t ever take a exit you’re not suppose to take in CT for OD loads or you will get a healthy fine

The broker provides the permits or is the responsability of the driver?

Permits ?........ What the heck are those? I'm a car hauler and I run 14'5" every day and a 5 foot overhang on both ends. I don't need no stinking permits !!!!!!!

You too stay driven.

That's what my wife said when she left me.

Great information, but the states and your company make up the rules, the two Beacon lights that you said wasn't good enough is good enough for FedEx and the federal government. I understand what you are saying. So the state's the lawyers and the dispatchers make up the rules and they never drove a truck in their whole life. Shame on the mess. In Wyoming you need to call the weigh station before you show up. What a headache. Drive safe my friend

Permits have 100% of what you need to know about the loads. No need for “volume 14” Construction zones are also already why your route is routed around it. If you go through it by following your permit, they took your dimensions and know it’s safe to do so.

Yeah , go big. To bad all the damn $$ is gone on these loads. It a joke anymore b
