[@rd4660]

Well, it's not legally over-wide, but I can see how the Chippie could be concerned with side-to-side balance. OTOH, if you take 40,000 and divide it by the width of the trailer (102") you wind up with about 392 pounds per linear (front to rear) inch of load width. So a 2" overhang to one side is only 784 pounds of a 40,000# load. That's nothing, so the Chippie must have had a burr under his saddle.

[@oic165]

People who math rule!

[@rainerpenner8202]

It's less than that, much less, it's only the flange that's overhanging. If he gets it within the 102" it will offset the wieght in the other direction

[@Doubie.]

@@rainerpenner8202no it’s not because the male and female flanges would weight the same and your suggestion that the trailer sees the weight overhanging the rails is wrong it balances from the trailers cg not the rails

Californica scales are all shady. Got inspected by a training group, they couldn't find anything wrong so the woman that was looking at my truck to trailer coiled air lines bent one in half and made a crimp in it. Out of service and a ticket. Not a fix a ticket. Mechanic on site, told him a needed a air connection fixed...he asked red or blue. I never said a coiled line to him. Very "conveniently" he had a cap on his pickup and it was full of red/blue coiled air lines. Total setup between the scale and the mechanic. There was also a tire guy with a 6 wheel service truck pulling a tandem trailer, both full of nothing but drive tires. Scale had put a truck out of service for irregular drive tire wear. They weren't irregular, just normal wear. Total ripoff.After I changed the coiled line myself, I went inside to get the repair signed off, they did that. I remarked that his brother was reasonable on the price. 2" is assinine...the truck mirrors extend way farther.

per CVC SECTION 35406 California allows cargo to overhang a vehicle by 4 feet beyond the rear, 3 feet beyond the front and 4 inches beyond the side of the vehicle. YOU MT USE markings IF the load extends 1 foot or more to the left or over 4 feet to the rear of any vehicle.

Also as someone who has family who drive truck for construction companies, I can always appreciate a guy who keeps a nice, clean, organized tow truck, especially with how crazy the job can get with moving stuff around all the time. However, you gotta work on that messy truck bed lol.

[@stuntlife420]

The driver also needs to have more tie downs on that load you need at minimum of 6 for 80% of the weight total. That is what opened this driver up for the inspection and seeing that he was overhanging on the trailer will make the inspectors find everything that is wrong.

[@carlschorfheide4220]

Only have to cover 50% of the weight, but over securement is always better. Number of securement devices depends on WLL of straps. 4” unmarked is good for 4000# (need 6), most are marked for 5400# (need 5), my company uses 4” rated at 6600# (need 4).

[@manorin]

[@MattSvatos]

No. It's not over wide. You cant get a permit if it can be made legal width.

[@hirisk761]

had he waited for the Cali DOT to issue oversized permits, he woulda been there for a couple days probably 😂

[@MattSvatos]

****Correction, you could get a permit or use an annual permit......but the same CHP officer would consider it invalid because the load could technically be made "legal". If he did all this for 2" he would have called your permit invalid for sure.

[@AlphaSaber]

I work for a DOT in a different state, not in the OSOW section, but we have one that's an annual permit that companies can apply for that is good for loads up to 12 ft in width for the full year. They are called annual permits, that I believe cover all company trucks and once issued, it's the driver's responsibility to check his route in the 511 site for width restrictions of 12 ft or less. I'm not sure how California handles OSOW permits though, but I would hazard a guess that they also have Annual Permits, and specific single trip permits.

I wonder if the shipper or the driver will pay for that. The driver should have not left the shipper until the load was centered. Would a wide load permit cost less than the rotator?

[@lightningdemolition1964]

I'm guessing they would not give a wide load permit because it's possible to load it properly. Just like an overweight permit is not given for reducible loads. I've had an overweight load of scrap metal where I had to come to the scales with an excavator and take two tons of scrap off the top. They would not let me get an overweight permit.

[@georgechickful]

[@kenwillis8487]

I used to run Heavy Haul and typically refused all loads going to California, Oregon and Washington state! I hauled two loads of HVAC units that were 14 foot wide early on and it took two weeks to get from the eastern state line of California to the coast outside San Clemente! I needed permits for every county on top of the permits to enter the state! I made sure the broker secured the permits b4 I even accepted the loads officially! State decided that the permits were invalid cause there was two extra units not declared on the application paperwork even though we were inside the parameters for weight, length and width. Took a week to get the permits for state cause it was Memorial Day weekend on Friday. Then they wouldn’t let us roll out of the scale house till the rest of the permits were approved and they made each county check the route we were to travel physically, meaning a county worker from each county had to drive the route and measure bridges and overpasses! Half of them kept saying there was no route so the broker sent the pilot car to those counties and showed them how to measure using proper tools! After that fiasco I never delivered to California again even though that was one of the highest paying jobs I ever hauled!

[@joebarnaskas]

wide load permit ?

[@heyinway]

Not enough securement. Hooking to rub rail is not a good idea..."rub" rail is designed to protect protect structure of trailer, not rated as a tie down point...need to take hook to frame of trailer or have a tie down rail under the deck (similar to sliding winch track). Trailer flex can make those strap hooks break...strap is putting tension on weakest part of hook. Alternative is having a strap with a short length of chain and a hook to be able to wrap around a tie down rated pipe spool or pocket. In a panic stop that concrete piece will break the rub rail and take the cab off the tractor crushing the driver.

[@carlschorfheide4220]

Rub rails have a WLL on some trailers. Not my preferred option, but is allowable. Just want to avoid forces pulling out or twisting the rub rail.
