Meaning of "bridge" law?

We're here to help!

 

also called "bridge law" is the king pin to trailer axle spacing.

that's the one that will get you a ticket.

 

By not putting too much weight in a small space on the bridge. It spreads out the weight.

 

Which is why CA is so backward in their thinking, making us close the gap and thus apply more pressure.

But then, CA govmint has never been the brightest bunch of people.

 

Wrong Newb
CA does it so you wont be jumping the curb and running over pedestrians on their narrow streets when making right turns.

 

Both are kind of right.. In the case of getting a ticket for bridge violations it kind of depends on the officer.... They all interpet it differently..

 

Actually CA came up with the 41' kingpin to rear hub length to reduce resonant vibration, similar to plucking a guitar string, caused by the down bounce after crossing the edge of the bridge. The phenomenon was discovered during the investigation after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake when hundreds of bridges failed.

 

No, you go to college to study bridge law. All these jurisdictions on each side of the bridge are always fighting who owns it and have to fix it and stuff.


Listen to the others!

 

Some companies have maximum trailer tandem pin settings decals near the rear of the trailer on the driver s side to make sure drivers are in the right pin hole to avoid being nailed by the bridge law. Companies that have these are Marten, Prime, Schneider, Walmart, and the red Star out of Morton IL

 

yeah, cuz those are neevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver wrong.....
