    What states they use them for then? I used to haul out of the Morris IL Costco DC and never saw anything but the standard 53 footer there, and they had about 2000 trailers in there lot alone.

    Western states have far different length and weight laws.

    Its unlikely you'll see them outside of UT, NV, WY, ID, MT, OR or WA.

    the Sumner WA terminal and teh COSTCO DC are side by side and that is where they have them... i think alot of states don't allow the A trains but i could be wrong

    those are the only states i can run... i run a 40' lead with a 24' pup running 105,500 and even then UT is very exspensive for the permit to run that weight

    Thought this setup didn't look too bad. Looks like flatbed div. sporting a van.
