Furthermore, what every truck driver that is operating with an over-dimensional vehicle must take few important things into consideration before starting with the route.
Those few important things include a well-designed route because over-dimensional vehicles cannot fit every road (since there are cables, banners, lawful construction), also you will have to avoid operating such vehicle at night.
In addition, this type of trucking has a lot of restrictions; these restrictions do not allow oversize vehicles to operate when there is a heavy rain, or a fog (that is to say a visibility that is less that 350metres).
5. Hazmat Transportation
Since 1975 the hazmat transportation has been and is still regulated by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act- HMTA. In fact it is a principal federal law that regulates the hazmat transportation, and sets strict rules that each trucking company that is transporting this type of loads must comply with.
This federal law was issued because if any slight error happens, or if an accident takes place, it can lead to life risks, property damages, as well as environmental disasters.
