Does anyone know if I can travel through the following states at night with a 6 foot overhang off a 48 foot flat?
Mississippi, Alabama, & Georgia
Thanks |

| I don't want to swear to this, since it has been a little while since I pulled a flatbed, but as far as I remember, everything more than 4 foot overhang is considered a long, or oversized load and requires a permit. |

| Sabine is correct, on an interstate 4' is the maximum length allowed to go unpermitted and to travel at night. |

You have to look at your provisions paper for each state you will travel in!
I know in Il. You are not oversize until 82 feet, so with 6' you could run at night! I used to haul structural steel out of Indiana and when I got to Il. I had to remove the signs when I got to Il. Then put them back on in WI.
The loads were 10' off the back and 2 off the front! In WI you may also run at night with over length at night! |

| Don't forget that if you run at night having red flags doesn't count, you must have red lights to the rear to indicate the end of your trailer/load. I forgot what page I saw it on in the book but it's there. |
