Jeff
By law all US and Interstate Highways will have a minimum vertical
clearance of 13'6". Most Western states will have 14". The maximum width
for normal loads is 102" (8'6"). The wide load rules seem to vary from
state to state so it is best to check with each state's DOT if you will
be over 102".  As to the requirements of our not quite so loyal neighbor
to the north you will have to check with their DOT.
If you do decide load it flat remember to put high visibility markers on
the strake ends and watch out for roadside signs and obstructions.
