That would be entirely at odds here in SC! No wide loads before 30 mins after sunrise or after 30 mins before sunset, and backroads are out in a lot of cases- they have designated routes for the oversize stuff that needs a permit.
But here is the big puzzle - no wide loads may be moved on SUNDAY.
Not sure why that is...looks to me like a weekend would be better to not holdup commuter traffic
Same reason as why the Weigh Stations are closed on Sunday. The DOT cops want the day off. They don't want to have to mess with it 7 days a week.

They made those laws so you can't swap trailer houses while your neighbor's out at church.

OK, I shed tears laughing in agreement over the idea of "Redneck Truckers" show. The things I see around here in Middle TN could make several seasons worth.

80 horse tractor on a gooseneck behind a 3/4 ton truck, with one 1/4" chain looped over the drawbar? :laughing:
I've seen them too. Scary stuff, but it isn't just farmers and truckers. You can almost count on a ladder a day falling onto the interstate somewhere around Nashville.

Today I saw a full-size front drum roller loaded on a 12K skid steer trailer. The tow vehicle was a 2011 GMC 2500hd Duramax ECSB.

I could at least send in enough footage for a couple of seasons of "redneck towing". where are the producers?
