I figured he took the turn too sharp and the rear just came out from behind him, never saw the news or what the actual reason was.

well you dont need just a special driving permit, but the company or currior service also needs a special permit for hauling certain types of loads.
btw its all legal until you get caught, iv had a semi full of grain weighing in at 116,000 lbs..

Right and right. Just more people get caught in SD due to the Highway patrol and DOT officials not getting laid. It maybe just out of state trucks but we get a lot of BS tickets in SD. I guess somebody has to make up for their tax system. Just this week we got a ticket for an imaginary nail in a tire that was still holding 100% of it's air, and a ticket for no brake lights on a trailer but when the driver blocked the brake pedal down and went back to check, they magically started working again. Still got a ticket though:icon_scratch: End mini rant.
