    If it’s a fixed 12ft spread and the back axle is all the way to the rear then the quick answer is legally you can’t run it everywhere. My opinion is if you stay out of California you’ll probably be fine with it.

    Probably a 12ft if it’s a 53ft trailer and the spread is fixed all the way back.

    Make sure you get your permit for Florida if you go there, other than that probably just keep out of Cali and you shouldn’t get bothered.

    NO Florida, CT, Cali, and I think there’s one more

    though if your rolling with a big wagon on some of them big jobs you’re probably dusting/dodging anyway…

    Western Canada does not recognize a spread either IIRC.

    What's the thinking for 12' instead of 10'1"?
