US 95 in Idaho

Yes restricted. You'd need the permit to use the route between Council and Grangeville. I called the number in the Rand McNally atlas and paid for the permit $43 bucks over the phone and picked it up later when the trip was over at the scales in Lewiston.

My company is supposed to provide those permits but that day I couldn't get ahold of anyone so just took care of it myself.

 

It is quite the drive. My favorite coffee stand is along that route.

 

Interesting that this comes out today....

I asked about the same drive yesterday here.

Last night I thought I was. Then when I found the other listing I was way confused.

So yes, you'd need to get a permit to travel down US95.

 

If you're hauling a 53' trailer, yes, you need a permit. As you do in most western states when you're off the STAA truck routes. Only Idaho issues you a permit rather than telling to 'get a different trailer' as Arizona told me once.

 

95 IS NOT A RESTRICTED ROUTE. it is open to ALL trucks.

55 IS HOWEVER, TO 48 FT TRAILERS and you need a permit. there's a scale in horshoe bend that checks permits.

and before any of you start calling me a liar. i just came from there. took the 55 to mccall for delivery. up north for pickup and came back on the 95.
