    Not sure if this is new or not or where to put it.

    Found this at the eastbound Ingersoll travel Center in Ontario Canada. Is this what's to come for more private fleets or general freight?

    Two companies in CA pull 57' trailers, but use a short wheelbase daycab cabover. I think they deliver new alum cans for Pepsi & Coke.

    No idea about Ontario, never been there. But if any company puts those on the streets on the east coast of the states, they can stop pretending to care about safety. That goes for a lot of places in the north west too.

    57' trailers are legal in the following states:

    AL
    AR
    AZ
    CA
    CO
    FL
    ID
    KS
    KY
    LA
    MI
    MT
    NV
    NM
    OK
    SD
    TX
    UT
    WY

    When paired with a day-cab cabover, they are shorter & more maneuverable than the typical STAA rig:
