Authorities are investigating after an oversized load came off its trailer, causing the death of two people and leaving one person injured Saturday morning in Temple, Texas.
Imagine being crushed by a 350k pound load while out driving. Holy moly Batman!
That’s why they have permitting processes that include route inspections, filed routes, and planning. Depending on the load they might have police escorts to basically shut down the roads following the load.
Big stuff has to be moved sometimes and things can go to extreme lengths to make it happen. If they don’t go on public roads, how else can things be moved?
In LA they moved a giant boulder to the LA County Museum of Art that had a whole documentary around it.
Then the amount of work put in to move the space shuttle. They had to move street lights and power lines out of the way. There can be so much coordination to move big loads.
