<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crocky, post: 12106586, member: 200207&quot;]I run a hot shot set up now, but I&#039;ve always liked the 5-pack semi truck setups. I found one with a sleeper that I&#039;m interested in. My question is the DOT length laws for car haulers. Does anyone know if the car hauler overhang covers the 5 pack car hauler trucks? I know certain states are not a problem such as FL where I&#039;m located people use them here all the time. However, I&#039;ve heard other states don&#039;t give these trucks the overhang exemption.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe most states&#039; rule on straight trucks is 40ft length limit. This truck in question is 39ft but with the typical overhang for a car hauler, it will be over that length. My understanding is the DOT overhang rule is only for combination vehicles and not straight trucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me if these trucks qualify for the overhang rule or will I run into trouble outside of Florida?</p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, this is the style truck I&#039;m talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://machineryhotline.com/photos/1438-2-525.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
