  • In this video, we witness the challenges of navigating an oversized load through a small town intersection. As the truck driver attempts to make a tight turn, bystanders and onlookers debate whether or not the truck should be allowed on the road. Join us as we explore the controversy and tension surrounding this delicate situation.
    Here is a video of me breaking down with my truck!

      Read the last sentence of Joe Mac’s comment!!!
      Oversize loads MUST FOLLOW PERMITTED ROUTING!!!
      Any deviation from the permitted routes will result in heavy fines, especially when road damage, sidewalk damage, or directional devices are damaged while the truck is traveling over non-permitted routes!!!
      In other words, the shipping company and/or the receiving company must apply to the state(any and all that the projected load(s) must travel through), and local municipalities for the permits to operate the oversize loads BEFORE the load leaves the point of origin!!!
      Every stretch of highway that an oversize load travels across, the permit mandates the time of day and the exact roads that the truck pulling the loads must travel on in each state!!!
      Those trucks have curfews that prohibit them from operating over certain stretches of highway or surface roads at well defined times of the day!!!
      If the truck is found to be operating during times they are supposed to be under the previously stated curfew, that’s a heavy fine in and of itself!
      If the load is large enough to require multiple vehicles for escort purposes for the safety of the load and the public in general, those escort vehicles MUST be fully briefed on the routes, the times of operation, and the times of curfew throughout the entire haul!!
      Those rules are put in place through communication of the height, weight, width, and potential turning radius of the load with each state and local municipality through which that truck and load are going to be moving through, the total number of escort vehicles, and whether local police or state troopers will be required to assist with escorting the oversize loads through the local communities!!!
      All of this stuff MUST be coordinated and approved prior to the permits even being issued!
      No load of that size will ever leave the shipping location without all those “T’s” dotted and “I’s” crossed so that everyone involved knows exactly what will happen throughout the oversize haul!!!
      The repercussions of not following those laws are massive fines at the very least, and the possible loss of life at the worst!!!

    As a former oversize load hauler, I'm surprised he didn't adjust the trailer height to make it over the curb. If possible, lifting the rearmost trailer axle moves the pivot point forward. And if bystanders want to help, after asking the driver if he wants help, watch the front of the tractor and any blind spots. Just my two cents, I wasn't there.

      Raising the 3rd axle most certainty would've helped but raising the gooseneck? That's just amateur crap. A good heavy haul trucker should know how to make that turn without going on the sidewalk.. He did exactly what needed to be done after the fact. I've made tighter turns with a longer tractor and you simply need to drive past the turn to cheat it with a jack knife to get you lined up for the turn. Granted, I'm on the east coast and had to go into Boston on almost a daily basis so I guess we're just used to tight stuff here?

    Kudos to the driver. Other than peeling the grip from the walkway, he did fine, once he realized he should have taken more real estate from the beginning. My tractor, AND trailer, are longer than his, each with 4 axles, and turns like this are a constant, given some of the routes I am required to take. If I'm not required escorts, I hang back a little, time everything just so, and put rubber on every possible inch of the intersection. I may have to back a little to clear my nose past a parked car, but can usually pull through, to the amazement of the handful of folks hoping I take out a pole or something. The mental geometry is never-ending.

    Oversize loads like this have permits attached to them. The driver technically has to take the route thats given to him by the permitting office. That's when stuff like this happens the permit offices have no understanding about what some of these areas look like and what has to be done to get the trucks around corners like this. For future please give drivers room around the truck and trailer. And if he's struggling ask him/her if they want a spotter if they don't have one already.

      I drove local LTL for a while (not UPS Freight but one of their competitors) and after getting my start as a flatbed driver the full size van trailers felt like easy mode. A trailer with a tandem axle can rotate in place unlike a flatbed with a spread or triple axle setup, plus local freight drivers are using day cab tractors, usually with only one drive axle. I often surprised myself at the kind of places I was able to get in and out of, places I never would've dreamed of putting a flatbed.

    I just wanted to share the few tidbits I know, on oversize loads for those of you openly asking questions.
    Oversize loads are booked months, or even years in advance, with the State (or States, if interstate) they will be traveling through. In many states there is a safety briefing with the DOT, state police, and the carrier moving the load.
    The State (or States) decides the route you will travel. There will be no argument or leniencey here. Follow the route.
    Some states require 1, 2, or more Pilot cars - sometimes this will be supplemented by the state police. I've seen some loads with 3 pilot cars and up to 4 state troopers. Out of Tennessee I have seen Clayton Homes run convoys of 3-6 modular homes with pilots interspersed between them.
    It is up to any pilots and drivers to know the route the state has provided to them, and if they go off route and miss a turn, it's on them.

Everywhere I turned there were signs. “No Trucks”, “No HazMat” (I had a haz load) etc etc. My sleeper cab and 53’ open deck ended up on a narrow residential street lined with cars, with nowhere to go but left or right. I thought I might have to call a police escort over this. But I got a neighbor guy to call out if I was close to hitting anything, ate a lot of curb and got out of there without drama…
    A dozen times I expected to be pulled over passing cops with some of the places I was driving that night. But I guess they’re busy with other things in Baltimore. lol
