i heard he had a permit for 4 feet 3 inches.....
and as you have read the road is open, the bridge was sent to edmonton to get fixed and will be back in 2 to 3 weeks.
then the road will be closed to install the bridge.
was a busy day in lloyd...

a vac truck caught on fire and burnt right on main street.
then this idiot decided to take the train bridge out..
and then someone had a heart attack and went off the road and hit a house.
lloyd rescue had a busy day

I think you mean 4.3m Anything over 13'6" ( 4.15m ) needs an over height permit . The said permit will also come with a over height route. I beleive the overpass is 5m or abit taller? The boom was not curled in low enough to the machine and deck of the trailer just like the pic below ( I was in the bush ). He obviouly did not measure it after loading. Costly mistake.

I ran up to the scales north of town here yesterday to weigh a 14M cat grader to see if I could scale it, knew I was a tad heavy on the drives....weighed it and went inside for the slip and the DOT told me we are allowed 18000kg on the drives if you have a winch. did not know this.

also, they have bumped the allowed steering axle weights up from 5500kg to 6000kg on the 1100 series steering rubber like the ones on the truck in your pic. interesting

I don't drive this one anymore T. That is interesting info. Is it only for winch and no divisable loads? Winter weight increase only? I've never heard of this nor has my buddy who is driving winch truck.

year round, I asked specifically about that because they have given us a 10% allowable over gross for years. divisible or not, ban period or winter weights....he says we get 18K on the drives due to the winch. first I've heard of such a thing, even asked him to sign my weigh slip for when I hit whitecourt with no permit for being at 17,890kg on my drives with that grader.

 

[RMK Junky]

when I hit whitecourt

I'm sure they will have an opinion....

 

[teeroy]

I'm sure they will have an opinion....

dunno if they were busy in there or what, but I rolled across the pad and saw the display flash to 18,200 while moving and they never gave me the red light....I sure as fawk wasn't gonna go in and ask....lol

 

[jdawgtherigpig]

[teamgreen]

haha ya not 4 feet... thats not to high now is it..lol

I havent heard of this either...interesting. I'll have to look into this on Monday...our trucks are so friggin heavy that it seems like we're always getting a bit of a permit on the drives it seems. D6R's are consistantly around 18 and a bit on the drives. The extra on the drives sure would be nice.

I was going to call central permit office today and see what the skinny was but I forgot. I know the guys running tri drives can only get 24K on the drives if they take it off the tridem trailer, only giving them 23K on the tri axle group back there. wondering if it isn't that kind of deal.

They have across western Canada, but you must have a 14'000 lbs front axle, you dont get the extra weight if you have a 12,000 lbs steering axle.

Whoa, that's all so complicated.
