Are you nyc legal?

Apparently NYC has for some time had restrictions on straight trucks limiting length to 35', width 8' and height of 13'6". If your straight truck exceeds any of these demensions, you must obtain a special "Daily Overdimensional permit for NON-DIVISIBLE LOADS" to operate within the city limits.

I want to thank a fellow O/O Sharon G. for bringing this to my attention. Perhaps our Carrier could be more diligent in keeping up with the regs. I have linked the NYC Official information sheet for fellow O/Os.

Again, thanks to the fellow O/O Sharon G. for bringing this to my attention.

I've known of this law for a couple of years.
I was told that if I was in any of the boroughs of NYC and I was run into that I would be cited at fault because I was not supposed to be there.
Don't tell the NYC cabbies or they will be plowing into us to try and collect insurance money.

Is this permit one that you have to get on each load into NYC? Sounds like another good reason to stay out of there.
