JAXDAD, I own Class 8 trucks Read the DOT Manual and don't tell me I'm wrong. You can run Double 53 ft on NY thruway from NYC to Northeast PA and Ohio to Chicago, you can pull triples in several states out west including Oklahoma, you can be 70 feet long in every state in the US, and every state has to allow you reasonable access either side of the Interstate to a business. You don't know anything you're just mouthing.
Those rules are all about commercial trucking, we private owners of motorhomes are not under these rules.
We pay federal fuel taxes just like you do, which entitles us to use the federal interstate highway system like anyone.
I realize that you truckers pay a lot more in taxes than we do, so lets not go there.
When a state uses the federal tax money they forfeit the ability to dictate the use of federal funded highways. That is why I contend that when we are legal in our own states we are legal in all states, but when we start talking over sized loads, over weight loads, or vehicles that are over the federal limits we are talking a different subject.
