I was thinking the same lol if I get lucky I might drive for Trimac locally in Texas, ironically one of your posts came up when I looked them up on here

I just checked my atlas, & NM says 57'6" for semi trailer. So it is entirely possible to have say a 48' lower & 8' upper, and still be legal at 56' trailer length..
Hell, it'd sounds like a versatile setup if one was to run just TX, NM, AZ, CO, WY, KS, OK, LA.. There's a few more but my pic is kinda blurry..
I don't want to call the guy a liar either, because I guess a 5' upper is possible if someone really wanted it built that way..? But even with an 8' upper & 13" kingpin you'd still come up a little short of center of drives on a tandem truck..
Dorsey & Fontaine both said no to me when I asked for 48' step with 8' upper.. Funny enough I've seen a 1998 steel & wood Fontaine 8 & 40 stepdeck before.. LoL
This guy has the same 8' & 40'5" setup as I do. Looks like the front of trailer is about center of drives, so kingpin is ~12" aft of drive center. Still works though..

I thought it was a straight up answer.
Sometimes your the bug.... sometimes your the windshield. I don't worry about it but I sure ain't gonna drive in and say here I am...inspect me...
I know alot more but I sure ain't gonna put it on a public forum. -
Why else would they build it?
