Mini-megaloads were scheduled to depart from the Port of Wilma Tuesday night and make their way to Montana via U.S. Highway 95 and Interstate 90. According to a news release from the Idaho Transportation Department, the four loads to be moved by the shipping company Omega Morgan are 20.1 feet wide, 15.6 feet tall, 75 feet long and weigh less than 80,000 pounds. Although far smaller than the 21-foot-wide, 255-foot-long and 644,00-pound megaloads that spawned protests and a federal court injunction on U.S. Highway 12 in August, they still required flagging teams and pilot cars. The mini-megaloads also had the potential to cause delays lasting as long as 15 minutes, according to the state/ Eric Barker , Lewiston Tribune. More here .

Question: Anyone encounter one of these mini-megaloads on H95 or I-90?
