slightly off topic, I see units identified with 53 ft on the side. I "assume" that is the maximum length allowed but I would assume that even with that on the side, they might get measured at weigh stations anyway?

The "53 ft" you see on the side of a trailer is the length of the trailer itself. It is to make it simple to differentiate between 48' and 53' trailers. This not only affects length limits but loading too, a 53' trailer can take 4 skids more than a 48' trailer.
