What are the benefits of a long wheelbase ?

It wasn't a blanket statement. It's not dangerous. And it was true from the guy I talked to having one built.

 

Ok, go throw 55 foot beams on with no rear over hang and run through Ohio with no od permit and let us know how that works out for ya.

 

You name it, it's in the sleeper, even the kitchen sink.

 

You don’t want more than 4ft of front overhang in Idaho without lights (if you’ll be driving after dark) or flags on the front corners.

 

Well where do you take a shower and so forth? I run mostly local but I could do more regional or OTR work with my 276 inch W900L and RGN if I wanted to pursue it. But I can’t fit the thing in a Loves after 4 pm, and if I’m lucky enough to where my schedule allows me to stop early enough when I’m loaded OSOW then I have to find two spots together and unhook the RGN and back the truck in beside the gooseneck. So I’m taking more than my fair share of the lot. I’ve had some success dropping the trailer at vacant lots and bobtailing to the Loves or Pilot, but then I worry about the load and my trailer and chains.
If I’m gonna sleep in the truck, fine, but I want a shower and place to pee at night. And I’m not opposed to paying for reserved parking, but Loves won’t do it.

 

I plan my trip so im stopping at a real truck stop with a large lot actually designed for trucks.

 

In the western hemisphere. 60 and 70 are common loads. I could care less about Ohio.

 

yep

 

Yes 70 ft loads are common and they get permitted.

Dude how much experience do you actually have with long loads?

 

I've got 7 years. How about you dude?
