Car haulers ???

I found out some more info.

Boydstun model 9178-s
empty weight = 19,900 lb
GVWR = 48K lbs (axles are 20K lb each)

From that model number does anyone know the length of the trailer?

Also approximately when empty how much of the trailer's weight gets transfered to the 5th wheel?

 

that is my problem I over think things way to much lol

Now that I have the info on the axles I am getting it inspected hopefully tomorrow

 

I am always well aware of my surroundings and what my height is I am not the type of driver you see you on Wrecked who goes under a 11ft overpass when your 13ft

 

Oh I didn't take any offense at all.

yeah I can see being tall getting someone in more trouble then heavy or long.

I have heard some stories about cars being chopped down in height.

 

well that j@ck@$$ sold the truck to someone else and didn't even tell me someone else was interested in it. I had been talking to the idiot for over a week and took him until yesterday to answer my questions which weren't rocket science questions.

anyways that really sucks and so now i am looking at a freightliner delavan setup

I have never seen a setup like this, the head rack is sticking way out past the rear of the truck.

Is this head rack legal with it sticking out past the tractor's frame in the rear?

Do states other than CA have any different rules for having a spread axle trailer?

I know CA requires that trailers with spreads cant be longer than 48ft but have checked other state guidelines and haven't found anything pertaining to spreads.

The states I travel are NV,UT, CO, OR,WA ID, MT, WY,NM and TX
