Bob, just keep in mind that one of the dangers of towing over length like that isn't just a ticket. Law enforcement could potentially declare it an unsafe vehicle and order you to unhook the trailer and make other arrangements to have the trailer towed away. Just keep that in mind and have a plan for it does happen.
Not sure about other states, but I can assure you that does happen in California....Dennis
I was a cop in California so that's why I wrote it.
This happened to a number of NHRA Dragrace teams as they entered California. Their trailers were to long, and they had to unload and load into smaller trailers. Their original trailers had to be hauled out of California, and they cut the trailers down to legal size.
California is a pain, if you can stay out
How long were their trailers? California allows trailers up to 53 feet long which is pretty standard in most states as well as the Federal regs.
Well, you're talking to a bunch of us retired LEO's. The 53' applies to commercial rigs. You DON'T want to open that box...:W....Dennis
