Meanwhile he's the one that everybody is POed at. I bet they don't use THAT third party service again.

You mean PennDOT? Sort of a monopoly, there. It sounded like PennDOT provided the routing to the trucking company, with instructions they cannot deviate, which I would suspect is standard for over-sized loads.
PennDOT may use a third-party engineering service to provide the routing service for them, though.

It was kind of a big deal in KCMO when they moved the "Pencoyd" railroad bridge from its original home in the West Bottoms, several miles to the Freighthouse District near Union Station to be used as a pedestrian bridge.
The rig had a semi truck in the lead and powered, steerable, multi-axle bogies under each end of the bridge. Drove it right down city streets and had crews raising/lowering power lines, etc. as they went. If you click on the picture, it opens up other photos in the series.

The article I read included this statement;
Nearly 160-foot-long wind turbine blade gets stuck between 2 homes in Pittsburgh area
An oversized trailer hauling the blade of a wind turbine got stuck in Bradenville, Westmoreland County.

From that I'm getting that PennDoT may've been asked for a route for oversized without specifics on there being a three-and-a-half-mile-long-turbine-blade (ok that's an exaggeration) being the oversize...The article I read included this statement;

You made me think for a minute.
But then I read this...
Also;
Whoever was at fault, it's safe to say that human error was involved.
