53’ step deck to florida

Florida scales are set up with the technology it tells the scale master where the violation is .
pretty hard to beat the camera system. I have found.
Went in and out with a 48 step never had a problem until I bought the 53 flat.
Got my education first time going in with it.
FEMA load got me a free class and a pass.

 

Hey guys, so no permit needed with 53ft Retinour SD with sliding closed tandem?

 

From my interpretation of the statute I would say no, just make sure the center of your rearmost axle is no more than 41’ from the kingpin.

 

Here's my math: I measured last night from rear of my trailer to center of rear axle, 12Ft 4in. If I Minus that off of an overall length of 53, I came up with 40ft 6in...that's from the tip of my trailer to the end. I have a 30 inch kingpin mount, thats another 2 ft 6 inches.
So wouldn't that leave my kingpin to center of rear axle 38.0 ft?

 

Sounds correct to me.

 

Good...IMA roll with it. Deliver in Jacksonville Monday, thanks!!

 

Yes. There about.

 

Close enough for the trucks I drive, the guys I date and the places I go!!!

 

I forget now but the permit is pretty cheap
