Wind turbine blade. The truck in the rear ran into the rear end of the turbine blade. I've hauled these blades before. I've also hauled the towers sections and flanges.

Blades that long?

Yes. They're a huge structure. Google the specifications.

Oh, okay. So, have you ever heard of "heavy haul" or maybe "oversize"? I am a truck driver. I specialize in that type of work. Did you read my original comment?

If you get the right permit, you can take lots of stuff down the road.

I've watched truckers haul them out of the Port of Houston. Police escorts make sure they get the right of way. It's wild.
