Amends Tennessee law to allow longer vehicles hauling poles, logs, or timber if certain safety measures are met.

This bill modifies Tennessee law to permit vehicles transporting poles, logs, or timber in single-length pieces to exceed the standard length limit, provided they do not surpass 75 feet unless a permit is obtained. Safety measures include using trailers with extendable and retractable rear impact protection meeting NHTSA standards or having an escort vehicle with a specified "OVERSIZE LOAD" sign. The Department of Safety or Department of Transportation may forgo compliance with any provision that jeopardizes federal funding.
