Trailer tandem?

This is what you are looking for;

For the non adventurous types, the short answer is:
On a 53' with the kingpin setback 3', you cannot have the center of the trailer tandems any closer than 37'1" in
Canada, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey.

 

35% of the trailer wheelbase is correct for those four jurisdictions. Truckers and math though, equals money for the state...

 

Mine are slid all the way forward running around Arizona with this produce, or I'll never make it into the stores. Even the newer stores are not designed for 53's. Or the architect has a hard on for truckers. Heaviest loads are about 36K and always nose forward, so I don't sweat the weight.

 

I used to do steel erections and architects are ####### and never think of the construction workers or end users. It's ridiculous

 

Any idea which four jurisdictions have such a rule?

This information is in the Rand McNally Motor Carrier Road Atlas. Also some carriers keep this kind of information in the back of their permit books. Bridge law States and settings etc etc can be found in these two places.
