    Not necessarily true. Many states go by the load length and don't care that its over hanging the front. If the load is longer than 53 its od and you gotta get permits.

    Mines only 265”, I didn’t want to take up too much space in the parking lots.

    Ive got 12 signals on each side. You would think when the moron sees them flashing they would know I either need to make a lane change or im making a turn. Nope, they see them flash and think it means they need to speed up and sit beside me. But ya, the do look cool and really light up a dark parking lot.

    I worked w a guy who thought the only place a semi could park was a Pilot or Loves.

    Drove me nuts... I run my truck down to 10-20 minutes on my clock all the time. There are lots of safe places to hang for 10 hours.
