What kind of signage/flags does the Army use when moving wide loads in CONUS? Is it the same as commercial? Anyone got any pics?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Wow, that sounds like a load for a 1 ton. Do you have a 5th wheel hitch or plan to haul it on another trailer? It is going to look really wide behind a pickup!beaubeau said:Hi M1075, I am not 100% sure these days, but when I was trucking, anything under 9 ft. did not need escort unless Overlength. I am trying to get a M172 and they are 9ft, and I am hoping to get it home on my 1ton Chevy. I can do it if no load on it. Good luck. Phil
What about trailer brakes? I think a M172 is really going to look suspicious behind a 1 ton and it might peak deputy dawg's interest.beaubeau said:The only problem I have is the fact that it will look Big behind a 1ton! I will have a Fifth wheel bolted to me flat bed through to the frame. I presently pull a car trl I built 9ft wide, and haven't had problems. I have been as far as Ohio with no problems. I just want to buy a Low Bed and transport it home without goint too far with my bigger trucks. As long as I am empty, I am Legal!!???
