    I think if you remove the bed. put fenders over the rear wheels. then the truck becomes a tractor. standard length applies then.
    With the bed still on the truck, it is considered a straight truck that is where the shorter length comes into play. straight truck and trailer have shorter maximum length.
    Read that somewhere else, not sure if it was on this forum or another.

    found this, it may help. http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/size_regs_final_rpt/index.htm#length

    I was based out of Florida and had 3 dodge 3500 with Wally-moe wedge trailers and pulled them Florida to Texas for 5 years before I sold them with no DOT problems
