Do any of y'all have experience pulling wide loads w/o a CDL?
I am looking into helping a friend move a boat from NY to VA this summer. It is about 11' wide, from what I have found on the internet you need a permit if over 8'6" but no escort vehicle until at least 12'. GCW will be about 24k, and length <65'. My truck is only plated w/ passenger tags (7500 GVW I think) so I had better avoid Pennsylvania.
I am also curious how a wide load permit will affect inspections, especially at weigh stations. If this is non-commercial, I shouldn't have to stop, right?
TIA,
Drew
