Max Shipping Length
Max Shipping Length
(OP)
Anyone know what the maximum shipping length for a beam trucked to a jobsite is (without a special escort and permit).
I have heard up to 50 feet, but I thought the norm was 40 feet.

RE: Max Shipping Length
Some states have increased their max. vehicle length limit (without permit/escort). In the southeast, 50-foot+ trailers are allowed, where the limit used to be 45'.
Washington-48'
Oregon - 53'

Height of load is often a bigger problem.

State Trooper to Driver: Didja get her stuck?
Driver to State Trooper: Nope..I was deliverin' this overpass and ran out of fuel.
This is a technical post...evidence of dik's comment on height of load!!
RE: Max Shipping Length
I have some long glulams on an existing storefront I'm designing for a revised canopy configuration and needed to know where to put the breaks. Looks like I did OK at 44' max.
Oh, and Ron hit the target with Washington. He's the man.
