For those of you who are speculating as to what constitutes a "Wide Load" or "Oversize Load" ... here are a few pictures to make this clear. In the top foto, the truck is literally driving down the line at the far right side of the lane ... and the load still over-hangs the left lane. We had to get to the far left side of the left lane to pass it ... and even then it felt uncomfortably close. Find a Pilot, Loves, Petro, Flying J, or some other truckstop and watch the truck drivers as they come inside to fuel. You'll gain a new appreciation for the concept of "wide load." A few minutes there and I feel down-right svelt.
