    I've seen a few down the north east. Can't remember where? PA? They only did exit to exit and to the same company. The guy I talked to said that they would fuel the trucks bobtail or get fuel at their yard. It wasn't meant for OTR. I passed one a long time ago and man, did it take forever in my 65 mph governered truck. I was like whoa!! I should have been cleared. LOL.

    I wish I could run a 57 footer, then I could put three big sedans on the floor and have plenty of room.

    Never seen a 57' trailer. Seems like 53's are big enough.

    Years ago I was leaving a receiver in Massachusetts and was taking up most of the road leading from the place. I got to the main road to turn and an old lady pulled up alongside and said "You're too long." I said "Yeah, I heard that last night too." I don't think she got it.
