    What you can try is ease over to the Quaker plant and talk to the guys in line to dump. Simple questions like "What have you got on?" Or Where are you coming out of go a long way. Those are questions I'm asked a couple times a week making small talk in line. It may give you a place to start on finding where loads originate in your area.

    If you have a tri axle end dump then that means from front axle to last has to be 43 ft then what about the first drive axle to the last trailer axle how far does it have to be?

    I've grossed 80k legally worn a 20 foot trailer before. We had a 20 for trailer we had to use for a specific customer due to the space inside their plant. Most time i hauled a 35 foot trailer grossing 80k every where

    Ok if you were inside a plant building or totatlly proviate land/road Uncle Sam does not (Hands are messed up bear with me) Give a #### about eights. His enforcemetns come in when you put a single wheel onto his public roads.

    NO the bridge laws will limit what you can haul with a 35 foot trailer. Check the bridge laws
