    Most here wont have a clue, as we drive big trucks.
    Probably depends on how you are plated though too.
    With a 53' trailer, we would always be over 65' anyways, so it doesn't matter to us. Hell, I'm @72' with a 48' RGN

    I wasn't sure if I posted this in the wrong category.first time posting anything on these forums.if there's a better place to ask this ? I would appreciate it im under the understanding the 65 ft doesn't apply if the box is off cause it's consider a tractor at that point and u guys are allowed longer lengths
