Hauling my own tractor on my own trailer with my own truck (dually pickup with gooseneck), but it's got the long axles sticking out.
If you're commercial you've got to get overwidth permits to be legal, or run after dark and hope you don't get caught.
Several years ago we hauled a grain drill that had a drawbar welded on the back for pulling a packer, which made it 9'6" wide when placed sideways on the trailer. Called the Sheriff's, the State Trooper's, the DMV... Nobody could help us on what to do, if we needed a permit, or how to get one. We ended up hauling it on a Sunday, and nobody said boo.
The difference here is this tractor is across state lines, but thankfully not through any of the dreaded "I" states...
Any words of wisdom, or wisecrack remarks? YTDOT and anti's welcome to comment.
