I dont think you can move a oversize load at night.If you do ,you better have lights on whatever sticks out the most.Would you want to meet a oversize load,at night,in your car,with your family in the car,that sticks out past the clearance lights?If you meet a cop like that,and he doesnt like it,it doesnt even matter what the law says,you are probly gonna stop,and pay a fine too maybe,especially if you argue.You at least need flags on it in daylight.Anything over 102 inches you need a permit,I dont know about California. You maybe could haul it sideways.There is a way you could haul it,but if you got caught,hit something,even if somebody ran into you,or you go through a town and a Highway Patrol sees you and has nothing better to do,he will probly nail you for it.Put it on the trailer where its not past the clearance lights to the traffic side,but hanging over the other side.You also need to put the heavy side toward the traffic side.Then look for a gas station that sells those goober teeth.Put about six chains and boomers on it,put the goober teeth in,if you get stopped,come up with some long story,and if you act farmer enough you might get away with it,as long as you arent holding up traffic or running over signs,people,cars and stuff on the right side,and stay in the right lane,and the trailer isnt leaning to either side,lights working,good tires,you are using turn signals and stuff.Or you could make some L brackets out of heavy angle iron,2 on front,2 on back and stand it on edge to where it dont stick out of the sides and if its less than 13 ft 6 in tall,haul away.I would stay away from all scales,and even as many towns as I could avoid them,Day,Night,whenever you drive a truck.Ive found it costs less to operate a truck when you stay away from the cops.Be your own cop,if you wouldnt want your family meeting you in a car coming at you in the truck,nobody else will want their family meeting you either,and a cop doing his job will stop you.He might stop you anyway to see what the heck you are doing on that road(I have had that happen)unless its going right by your house,say theres a tractor setting up there somewhere you want to look at and if your lights work,you have good tires,and are farmer enough,he probly will let you go.
