Since I haven't seen much info on it here, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Oversize/Wide Load, or any other special loads. I'm just curious as to how they work, and what companies tend to do them. Obviously not something I'm looking into for right now, since my primary focus is surviving the dog ride, but the idea of pulling these things around the country has always fascinated me. Was in Kansas for 4 years and on the I-70 stretch there would always be these trucks pulling massive turbine blades and other stuff that kinda makes you go....damn!

Do you need any special endorsements or credentials?

What is the typical experience needed for this type of haul?

What companies tend to offer these hauls?

Do you get paid differently for hauling oversized/wide?

Do these rigs still fit in a truck stop?

Anyone got any cool stories/pics pertaining to the topic?

Anyone else forget how long you've been driving in KS since after KC it all looks the same?

Click here: Flatbed Variety

There is a ton of information on flat bedding. One of our regular contributors, Pat M primarily hauls oversize and heavy weight loads.

Search on his name (suing the bar in the upper left hand corner)
