If your coming to houston this weekend and your rig is over.
65ft, then you may want to get a permit. We were leaving the house early this am, and got pulled by state trooper/tx dot for over length. He advised us that they are educating the troopers and they are starting to look for this more often. We were in huntsville so y'all coming in from the north side down 45 be aware. He did just issue us a warning and say he was only educating us, so they may just be looking right now. Just thought i would give y'all a heads up. Be safe, and see everyone in a few days.
