The challenge
Wide, tall and heavy, Tennessee to California
Federal rules set 8'6"W as the standard width on the national highway network, so at 16'10"W these loads ran 8'4" wider than that. Federal rules also cap gross weight on the Interstate system at 80,000 lbs, and at 187,000 lbs this move ran 107,000 lbs over it, so it could only travel on oversize and overweight permits from every state on the route.
Each state sets its own permit, escort and travel time rules, and a load 16'2"H also has to clear bridges, signs and wires on every mile. That is why the move ran on our own in house routing, permitting, surveying and engineering from Tennessee to California.
