4 axle tractor 3 axle jeep 3+3 rear group + two single axle pin on's making it a 4 + 4 group with articulating steer. In Oklahoma we had 2 civilian forward escorts 1 with high pole in the rear was my service truck serving as rear escort 4 DOT patrols 2 of them on motorcycles when we came to having to negotiate a turn I would park my service truck and steer the rear of the rig. Permits in OK. were atrocious, once we hit TX we lost all Patrol escorts and were on our own until we reached FT.Worth where we had to wait until after Midnight then had half a dozen local PD assisting our passage the same thing happened again a couple more times. Houston was a game show and a video game, kind of a combination of jeopardy let's make a deal and Donkey Kong. The trip routing turned a normal 560 mile trip into 750 miles of will we ever get there. and 5 full days. They cut the 2nd vessel was cut in half to make the trip in 2 loads.
