As for this particular video-Just another leisurely stop on the side of the road waiting for a wide load to pass. This one just seemed close. That's all

  • Insane! you shoyld see this cluster #u@k from the hill! Who pays for DPS overtime?? 'good thing' on a windy road and a rainy night!

  • I think the oversize load pays for off duy DPS, but the question is, do they pay for the damage they cause the guard rails? And, I know they contribute to the depression in the centerline of the road which is why the road is so dangerous when it rains. (with the excessive pooling of water)

    Then, the question is-what happens to the "wildcat" oversize loads-the people who drive the oversize loads down the highway without escorts and do damage?

  • Wow that was scary...Thank God the Highway Patrol was escorting it.

  • I've missed the really big oversize loads, thank goodness. That one was about midsize, I'd say.

    Two other DPS vehicles passed us in cars with flashing lights quite a ways ahead of the that stopped and talked to me, which is why I asked if it was a big one.

  • holy moly that was really close.

  • I hauled the same thing in Miami

  • I have hauled bigger stuff on my flat bed.

  • @VailCoronaAZ My hat goes off to these drivers, You gotta give to them lol i doubt any normal drivers drive better than those guys.

  • they get alot bigger

  • @VailCoronaAZ these trailers are designed so that they dont impact the road surface anymore than the road surface can handle.there are VERY strict guidelines when it comes to how much PSI,how wide the axle sets are,etc.that is the reason for all of the axles/tires.as for gaurdrails thats a different story.and yes we pay (A LOT) for police escorts.

  • @jme205 haha born and raised here in alberta aint that the truth!

  • Dam that was scary enough just watching tons of whatever that was passing just inches away.. Thatvwoild have

  • that is a power station hut and are more bulky than heavy
