Wink OT:BIG trailer tow??

I've got the opportunity to haul 2 10X50 office trailers about 125 miles each to make a few bucks while I'm unemployed again.
I have no idea what they weigh, or IF I'll need some type of special permit for being over width-I don't think the length is any problem.....any ideas or suggestions-BTW: I have a LATE '99 F350 Dually. Thanks!

That will be overloaded and way to wide special permits escorts and CDLs would probably be required/.

Theres a couple outfits that haul those office trailers and huge sheds around here and they always have extended removable mirrors and strobe lights and escorts with the stuff you might be hauling, do your homework and find out all the legal issues first IMO. I'm all for extra cash but not being informed might cost more than its worth.

I would check Your local laws and see before hooking up and then getting stopped by DOT and getting a big fine. If it were local, about 15-20 miles and could use back roads it would be different. Better to be safe than sorry.

You should call your local law agency and ask them.

also remember... If you dont get pics it means it didnt happen.

Thanks guys!! I've done some thinking on this and I feel that these trailers will put way too much of a strain on my truck so I told the guy I couldn't handle them.
