That’s what I was thinking. Will be going from North Carolina to Maryland. And with a 53’ trailer and a 60’ load I will be under all the overhang laws that I have read.

Only major thing all states in question is the 41’ kingpin to center of rear most axle. If I slide rear axle up to closed position I will be under the 41’ and with a 29k lb load I won’t be overweight on axles.

You may want to check provision sheets for specific flag or lighting requirements. -

I think most states have a 3 foot overhang from the front bumper, before you need to permit it, this is mostly for auto carriers, boat haulers, log loaders, cranes, etc,etc.
As far as loading your trailer, you have to check every state, it would be nice if all were uniform, but that will never be. -
The center of the trailer capacity will be close halfway between the kingpin and center of rear group for even loading. With a 30” kingpin and 40’ kpra that’s 21.5’ from the front of the trailer. So a 60’ load will be 8.5’ behind center. If I had your empty axle weight we could figure out pretty close to your actual loaded weights.
hopefully you can understand this post, I think I confused myself at least once!randomname Thanks this.
