Needs escort vehicles
Wide load refers to cargo or a vehicle that exceeds standard width limits for roadways, requiring special permits and warning signs during transport: The wide load ahead slowed traffic to a crawl.
Trucks carrying oversized equipment display "WIDE LOAD" banners and often travel with escort vehicles.
As slang, wide load is a disparaging term for an overweight person or their backside.
