I have read almost everywhere and I can’t find a answer to this question. When legal length says 3’ front and 6’ rear overhang, does that mean front of trailer or front of truck on a car hauler?

On a car hauler the 3 and 6 were specifically for ONLY stinger steer combos 6 off the back 3 over the FRONT bumper, There is NO FEDERAL allowance for overhang on a high mount car carrier, you are limited to 65 feet overall. BUT the 3 and 6 on a stinger combo was superseeded 3 years ago with the FAST act, i believe the statue is 5520, overhang on stinger combos is now 4 and 6 AND this is on an 80 foot combo So technically you can go 90 feet total.

Ok. I have a 53’ trailer and was wanting to haul a 60’ load. I hauled a 61’ load and got permits due to overhang on rear.

Yep spyder is right, some state are nothing off either end some states are nothing off the back and some states are only concerned with LOAD length, not overhang
