Authorities in northern Minnesota cited a truck driver earlier this month for hauling a 36-foot wide shed – what they called the definition of an oversized load. 

On Nov. 19, a Pennington County sheriff’s deputy stopped the truck on Center Avenue North west of Thief River Falls, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. The truck was hauling the shed without proper permits or an escort vehicle, taking up both lanes of the road. 

The driver was cited for various violations.
