Length limits

Notwithstanding the statutory length limits on motor vehicles, trucks and trailers, the combined overall length of a “pole dolly” or “pole dickey” and the load carried may, while being used for the transportation of pole or single units of lumber or metal, exceed 48 feet, but:

  • The overall length when considered in combination with the motor vehicle accompanying it must not exceed 65 feet; or
  • In the case of an electric company, or a telephone company, it must not exceed 75 feet, without a special permit.

Pilot car requirements

A pilot car must follow an over-size vehicle if the overhang is four or more feet, and the load consists of poles, masts, booms, or similar shapes.
