Or. Admin. Code § 734-078-0017 - Rear Overhang
(1) A combination
of vehicles operating under a Division 78 variance permit is subject to rear
overhang requirements as follows:
(a) If rear
overhang exceeds legal limits, a single trip permit or a continuous trip permit
may be issued for rear overhang;
(b) In addition to any other pilot vehicle
requirements specified on a permit, if rear overhang exceeds 25 feet, the
permit will specify the requirement of a rear pilot vehicle for travel on any
portion of a non-interstate multi-lane highway when the normal route to the
destination requires the combination to exit the multi-lane portion of such
highway;
(2) For the
purpose of this rule, rear overhang will be measured from:
(a) The rearmost direct weight bearing pivot
point to the end of the load of a pole trailer; or
(b) The rearmost load bearing point of any
other trailer, exclusive of any non-load bearing appurtenances, regardless of
any log bunks attached to the trailer.
(3) A vehicle, including but not limited to
an auxiliary axle, attached to the rear of the rearmost trailer in the
combination for the purpose of distributing load weight will not be considered
in determining rear overhang.
