53 or 54 foot fixed spreads inside. everyone elses .02 need not apply

just run it. stay out of Ct because its a big fine. lots of 53 and 54 foot trailers set up that way running out of my area. never heard any of them getting permits orher than maybe overall lenght in Fl.

 

Like any other spread--we have 1 54'--no diff than 53'--no added capacity--was speced w/14'spread to somewhat beat--Cali bridge law--BUT--wont go anymore so irrelivant--only state I know anyone bothered was NY--big fine--although I hear about CT and couple of others--but have been thru(NYC-Boston)kate night makin drops and no one pays any attention--as for Fl----Ive never known my home state to pay attention to anything but weight--and VERY blatant safety violations--one word of caution though(and a little more if you do LTL like us)the longer spread can be a little harder on tires--if thats possible--LOL--when your heavy--and get tail off--the fron axle really gets stressed gettin in someplace real tight w/rear dumped--
And I see your form up near the windy--I see(do not know personally)1/2 dozen or so O/O in area w/54 spreads--and they do CHi-East beach LTL--see em at both the new markets--off ashland and Damen--so might wanna ask around
Good Luck

 

FL's annual permit is $20. No big deal.

 

It's bright orange so when you pull on the scale, hold it up and you should be fine. Half the time when I pull on the scale with an oversize and hold it up, I just get the green light.

 

what about tennessee. ???

 

Watch out for TN they been giving use trouble for the overall lenght law with a 53ft step and 259 wb truck
