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.
Yes, FEDERAL DOT rules apply to COMMERCIAL vehicles operating, as you clearly stated, on the FEDERAL INTERSTATE SYSTEM and a reasonable distance to and from the area near the INTERSTATE.
However motorhomes, TT's and 5'ers are NOT commercial vehicles involved in interstate commerce.
I'm surprised someone who claims to be in the business can't understand the difference between private vehicles and commercial ones.
