Details:
Before a haulier can move an abnormal load he must notify and gain consent from the Police. In addition, if the gross weight or axle weights exceed those specified on the C and U regulations he must indemnify the Highway Authority (Hampshire County Council) and all bridge owners along the proposed route (eg Network Rail).
 
The law requires the haulier to give a minimum of two clear days notice to the Police, Highway Authority and Bridge owners before moving the load.
