If I'm thinking what your thinking about you can find that info in the front of Rand McNally Truckers Atlas, Bridge and length and weight laws etc for the interstates. If your talking about something else, cuz I really dont know what you mean by Interior and Exterior, then I dont know.

bridge law calcs?


jeex man - I would not even worry about that -

if you have a tandem 52 keep it set to cali' specs - and it is not an issue with spread axles...


besides most bridge laws are not enforced anymore....

and the ones that are result in a warning first (i.e. move it right now and make it legal) then a ticket...

???


that has nothing to do with the bridge laws...

and you can not slide "tandems" when they do not exist

(he said he was going to pull a lowboy (fixed axle) trailer)

California and Florida seem to be the only two states that really enforce the bridge laws anymore. But be warned, sliding those tandems back DRAMATICALLY changes the turning radius of the trailer. I recently delivered a load to a Circuit City in an upscale mall area... The dock required I slide the tandems back.. It took 20 minutes of pounding and cussing in the rain to get them slid back and when I did, I could not get them back. Leaving that area with its tight turns and flower beds was ugly... The turns I squeaked through ok coming in weren't even close with the tandems slid back leaving. Poor flowers .
