They run Nokomis rd consistently and the bridges are restricted to 16 tons and 20 tons and the trucks usually weigh around 40 tons loaded. It is a bypass around Atmore for the trucks coming out of Alabama. Weight restrictions don’t matter to the log trucks.

I have seen and know of horse trailers that have scraped the bottoms and campers that have had the under-rigging pulled loose as well.

I have seen these rigs stuck more so on railroad tracks. Is there a minimum standard height before they get on the highway? Seems like the trailers get tweaked as the trailer ages from usage.
