    So I'm local but I'd like to know a list of state that 1- allow parking on off ramps. 2- allow tandems to be slid all the way back ( yes I know this is in rand McNally but if you have quick link thanks)

    If you need to park on on/off ramps you are doing something wrong.

    If the tandems need to be all that way back, the shipper is doing something wrong.

    If you are a local driver, why does either question come up?

    Tx lets you run the tandems all the way back. When I was running intrastate in Tx when I first started driving we ran 'em all the way back most of the time. Truck rode a lot better stretched out like that.

    What was crazy was in the late 1990’s when Lane ran a fleet of high cube 57’ footers and you’d see them stretched all the way back.

    Whether it's allowed or not, why would anybody want to park on an off-ramp? That sounds like a really good way to get sideswiped or rear-ended.
