Sorry for not getting back Been very busy and havent gotten on puter in almost a month.I requested a magistrate look into the ticket, no luck still out 175 clams.What the dot is getting us on is overall length,w/ a highmount they say you can be no longer than 65 ft with a 53 ft trailer I cant think how you can be legal w/ any truck,I had nothing hanging off the back, it was the top car in front it was behind the sleeper so it didnt add anything to overall length of truck, just another money grab by michigans finest . My question is a flatbed can have 3ft off front 4ft off back leo told me I couldnt have any overhang off front even though it was behind the sleeper.I am currantly moving all my business out of Mi registering out state.

It won't matter where you register your fleet, you still have to abide by the laws in each State you are in. Are you a stinger steer? My State is pretty much the same as you stated that Michigan is.

Here's the law book section for my State dealing with automobile/boat haulers:

A truck or truck tractor and semitrailer combination designed for and engaged exclusively in the transportation of automobiles or boats may not exceed 65 feet in length;

2. A stinger–steered automobile transporter or a saddle–mount or a full–mount combination may not exceed 75 feet in length; and

3. A. A maxi–cube vehicle described in subsection (a)(4)(i) of this section may not exceed 65 feet in length; and

B. A maxi–cube vehicle described in subsection (a)(4)(ii) of this section may not exceed 60 feet in length;

So it's not just Michigan, you might want to check with every State you operate in.

That's a flat out lie. I don't have to see the law to figure that one out. Every car hauler configuration I've ever seen has been able to hang cars off the front and the back. And I mean over the front of the truck. I still don't see how some of those guys see out of the windshield with a car in the way.

Having one hanging off in the middle of the rig has nothing to do with length. I'd take it to court and make them prove exactly which law you broke and how exactly you broke it. If they want their money make them work for it.
