what is the maximum length for truck transporting in Louisiana?
(OP)
I have shop assembled platform that is 12' width and 40' length.
can this be transported by a truck?
What is the maximum length you splice a column or beam? I normally use 36' maximum.
Is there any link/table for truck length maximum length capacity?

You'll need an escort for your platform I'd imagine, but it's transportable.

Given your questions and OP’s. you/your company must work on an incredible variety of projects and engineering problems. They just stagger my imagination. 40' length should be no problem almost anyplace, but the 12' width will cause some problems. This width can often be accommodated by placing the load on its side on the trailer, on some approx. 45̊ angled frames which allow you to minimize the total width, while at the same time to increase the height; some adjustments to take advantage of each allowable max. dimension. Unless the site work is very typical site fabrication, assembly and erection it is usually best to do this work in a fab. shop and ship the entire piece, with the transport considerations stretched to their limits. Pick up your phone and ask the local authorities, police, highway depts., local truckers, etc., they can give you the straight local answers.

Just checking, I see that wind turbine blades 100-120' long are routinely hauled around the country. Precast concrete bridge beams are routinely hauled around that are considerably longer than 40'. They're all permit loads, but doable.
Check out the picture gallery on this page, for examples:

In state, we'll ship 85' column pipes (usually 42" dia) on an extendable trailer. Not crossing state lines makes it easy.
