🙂 Hi, instead of a Ford, He should be towing that trailer with a 29 MPG Dodge Ecodiesel.

Friend works for a window company in Wisc and he drives a 53 footer and is in Canada all the time and never had a problem.

Really? The US federal highway system allows 53' trailers on the national highway network. I though Canada allows 53' trailers too.

Two SCs or a SC and a SG?

How come? Most semi trailers are 53 feet. Now he most likely have to stay to the truck routes. But he's no longer than the the trucks pulling super B's that I see in Ontario.

I saw a very long TT yesterday that looked otherwise normal, except it was really long, and had no less than 5 doors on the side. Wish I was able to take a picture.

It is car guys on Facebook - believe its all open inside.


Comments from owner:
GVW totally legal it's plated for 36K and we all have CDL's. ??
Totally by the book according to several attorneys. Well as soon as we put the DOT number on it that is.

On the appearance of being low:

Maybe but it's just skirts on the bottom and same height as our old trailer and that's fine. Although we have a series of bogey wheels underneath.

F450 with 550 leafs. Trailer only weighs 8,000 being totes aluminum. Tows way easier than our 33ft tag.

If I were to guess its a race car hauler with living quarters. Hard to tell from the pix.

I assume he is transporting horses? A Horse Truck like we have here would be better, plenty of clearance over rough terrain, wider and articulated, so you can get around bends easier
