I'm going to assume you would need to pull the correct permits for each state, see what it costs, it's been a long time, and many times within the local radius I can remember just hauling whatever it was without permits, for me that was roof trusses on a flatbed trailer, and later on excavation equipment. Things have changed significantly, best to see what is required and do what is necessary. I remember about 1990, having to pick up an 850 JD dozer, 40-50 miles west of here, straight blade at 12'-0" wide, I was headed back east and decided I-88 to the NYS thruway was better than the hairpin turns using state roads, plus the long hills down the mountain. I pulled up to the NYS Thruway toll booth and the attendant issued me a permit right there, I had no idea, boss tells you to go get the machine. It cost $20 from that exit to the Albany exit, things must likely have changed since, ought to be easier with internet.
In '02 I had a Caterpillar D7 with a 12'-0" blade shipped from Illinois, blade was angled, so it was probably 12" over each side, I was going to have it taken off, but the additional cost of shipping as is was not that much, not worth the time to take it off and break it down. The truck came through I-90 from OH, PA. The cost of the over width permit was not a big deal, possibly due to the dimensions being about 12" each side., never was sure, but was good news to hear at the time, saved a few bucks.
