    The only ones I've seen down here are Cardinal and you need a blanket permit or trip permit to pull it

    You should try to manuever a 57' RGN. They turn really slow. Moved one from Houston to Iola,KS.

    Like always. Went from 45' to 48' to 53' and getting less $ with every increase.
    I believe there is 13 states that 57' is legal? I imagine this info is listed in the front of the Rand Mcnally atlas?

    Notice the 2nd pic; driver-trainer on a local job I tried for once asked me if I knew what the term 'tailswing' meant - is this it?

    Not 100k, just 97k w/3rd trailer axle. I think that faces an uphill fight, but could happen.

    I used to tow 17 m trailer. You need to get some habits... turning right you can hit car on left with long tail especially with tridem trailer. Here we can tow so long trailers with cabovers only (((
