Maybe we need Sheppard77 to chime in.
I always thought there were restrictions on anything over 8'-0" wide.
Meaning you can go with 8'-6" wide but you have to stay on the highway and perhaps not travel at all at night. At least that's what I remember when I looked into it over 30 years ago.
I'm not sure how you can deliver anything, and anything on time with those sorts of restrictions.
Here is my state Michigan.

This paper has good graphics, says 8'-6" width, and I'm not seeing the Interstate Highway only restriction.
