I don't know if you've kept up with the news, but Festool has come out
with a new product. The Truck and RV Planer. This is the prototype...
all that's left is to paint it green. :-D

We had some of that here - large and I mean large oil equipment being
hauled.

The Transport industry have manuals. There are routers and custom
software that drivers follow.

What nails some is the city/county/state/etc paves a new 2" or 3" layer
on top of the old. Don't change signs and don't notify the industry.

Trucks run into stuff. All of the trucks now have cars in front with
tall poles matching the load behind them and they detect such.

Some of the loads are on 80' and 120' trailers - having wheels start at
the end and proceed forward with a set of 4 a blank (tire size) set of 2
space, set of 2, space...... monster load.

We had one that was stopped just before the bridge by the lead car -
police cars everywhere and they had to back him out of there after they
figured where to send his weight and width. He was on the loop and
they had replaced the bridge and repaved the lower road.
