    No you don't have to fold the mirrors in, they aren't any wider than the mirrors on the truck hauling it.
    I haul a lot of trucks and I always fold them to avoid damage.
    But it's not illegal.
    You do have to remove anything that would make it over height, such as exhaust stack.

    It is illegal to haul them with the mirrors out on the hauled vehicles if over 102 inches. but unlikely to get grabbed for it

    On the power unit the mirrors are considered ''safety equipment''.

    I’m out here just slaving away, moved 4 trailers across the DFW metroplex on Christmas Eve, then started the front half of an 800 mile round trip for this 35 pound box. 37629BFD-E0BB-462B-94A2-B450F3DCA506.jpeg

    It’s a good thing tow truck drivers get paid based on a lot more important things then shifting gears.
