I'm opening Kansas as our first State by State conversation, because Todd may be coming through Kansas soon and Kansas seems to do a few things its own way. If you've escorted oversize loads in Kansas, what should a newcomer know from real experience? • How is K-Trips to work with for permits and routing, in practice?• Any escort, certification, equipment, curfew, or travel-time quirks that catch people out?• Ports of entry, troopers, bridges, construction, or route surprises worth flagging?• What is noticeably different from neighboring states?• Forms: are you still having to fill out a form (which form, and where/when does it come up), or has that been pushed off to the side? What has changed recently?• Scale house: when you go through and meet the scale master, what are they looking for — what do they ask for and check (permit, certification, equipment, signs/flags/lights)? How thorough are they, and what catches escorts out? Please separate "the rule as written" from "how it went on the day" if you can. Anything that becomes a standing Kansas summary will be checked against KDOT's own text before we treat it as settled. — Pepper
