Any laws in any State restricting Legnth?

I tow a race car trailer and the DP I use most of the time adds up to 72+ft and the other DP measures 77+ft over all...I have had the long outfit to Pamona CA and never had a problem coming and going on I-10......We are spoiled here in NC as over all length if involved in motorsports is 90ft. That's right, 90ft. Thanks to NASCAR

Fed says no overall length on interstates as well.

Only trailer length and trailer combination lengths are regulated, so yes you could 300ft long if you had a long enough tractor.

CA also has a 60' combined length limit.

65'

Even that wont be right as Ca allows up to 75ft for certain combinations for trucks and rv's cant exceed 65ft. Here in Nv there is no overall length limit for trucks but its 70ft for rv's. This is why i said you need to check each state you plan to travel in.

Nevada has no overall length limit for trucks? You sure about that? So if I'm 300 feet long in my Semi I'm legal?

No because trailers still have dimensional. The removal of overall length laws allows tractors to now have those giant "condo" sleepers (RV bodies) installed. Also once a tractor hooks up to multiple trailers, then overall limits apply again.

Thanks guys (and gals) you really put me on to resources for answers and essentially answered my question. I was specifically concerned about California and Idaho. But you guys are the greatest. THANKS>

Just remember that most LEOs have a tape measure in their cruiser tool kit. An acquaintance of mine always had his short ruler (for ride height violations) and his copy of the CA Motor Vehicle Code. If he stopped someone who had a bit of a hotrod and a bit of an attitude, you can figure out the rest. Out came his tool kit and he would start writing. As he went he would flip to the appropriate page in his book and show the "victim" the law he or she had violated and then he would continue writing. More than one car was impounded during his career. Whether you have a problem with any LEO depends entirely on your attitude and his or her mood at the time of the stop. If you are legal these type of incidents do not have a chance to occur.

You certainly could be right. Was just thinking about those 45' Prevost folks towing their Hummers who kept getting ticketed but maybe it was 65 and not 60. I used to pull an extended Chevy Van with my 40' coach and I was legal but if I was 45 pulling the same toad I would have been over the limit so it must be 65'.

Yeah, I know. My coach is right at 44', tow bar is 5' (with a 1' extension), and the toad is another 15'. That makes me 64'...whew!

The referenced lists of towing laws are all wrong in their Montana listing.
See Montana Code Annotated (MCA) 61-10-104 for the REAL length limits.
