What's the point of a 14ft high dry van

As long as you stay west of the Mississippi and the states bordering it you are legal at 14ft. (west of MN, IA, MO,AR, and LA)

 

Wow, you got lucky by not turning it into a 13’6” convertible. Had that been me, one trip through Memphis and it wold have ended my career..didn’t even know a 14’ van existed.

 

Swift used to have them. They sat 13'6", but dropped the suspension to get them that height. They jacked them up to 14' when they loaded.

 

Swift used to have some trucks and trailers that sat on 19.5’s. Trailers had the cube of a 14 footer but were 13’6” overall. They used them running tissue paper out of Lewiston ID after they bought out West’s Best.

 

Basically you’re gaining 265 cubic feet more inside the trailer. 116” inside height versus 110” on a standard van.

 

You put a tape measure on it ?

 

I got 225.25 ft³ using 8'6" wide. Assuming that 8' are usable, I got 212 ft³. Is my math wrong?

 

this.

my 13’ 6” reefer on my kw is actually 13’ 3”….

On the old Pete with 24.5s it was 13’8” and I ran quite a bit with that too in mas

I think maybe CO and UT are actually 14’ 6”? I’d have to double check the book
