Flat bed overlength help?
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.
