I did both drive axles and a stear and one trailer axle often in Alberta. No chains allowed on pavement in Ontario.

Neal, your picture reminds me of working FEMA after hurricane Sandy. We were running bottled water into Long Island. 40k plus/load as running FEMA weight restrictions and drive time hours are sometimes waived. Well, low bridges are never waived(). One of our brokers topped a bridge and snapped the 53' van into a V shape. 40k plus bottles of water everywhere. Two cranes to get the trailer out from under. Total loss.

When I first started driving, I was hyper alert to everything, every sign and bridge. But after days and days of driving, you sort of get in a groove. I can see how nit could trip someone up. You would probably notice and observe the sign... but then again, you may be off in a different world. Driving is a tough job, demands a lot of attention.

Oh, I have a lot of topped truck stories. One was the first day for a driver in a brand spanking new straight truck. 22 foot box returned as a flat bed. Driving is not for me. Yes, it certainly takes concentration to wrestle the rig down the road. Specifically when surrounded by morons in cars believing these rigs can stop on a dime. Most of my fleet is aging(meaning my drivers) and many turn in the tractors/straight trucks and purchase a Sprinter. Less hassle and expense.

How so?
Hopefully, come April we'll be seasonally running oversized loads of windmill blades for a few years.
