    TX - 58' Trailer is legal, but doesn't say "Trailer and load"
    LA - 59'6" Trailer or load is legal
    MS - 53' Trailer is legal.

    I would load on a 53' - One or two feet over the front, rest off the back, flag the overhang and run. maybe permit in MS to be safe, I don't know of pipe exemption there.

    When I was looking for a pad to rent in (Rockland) Maine - maaaaaaybe a "city" of 7k - I hit on 3 ads on Craigslist who after the initial information dump (name, current address, employment status: basic stuff) gave me the "Congratulations! We think you'll be an excellent tenant! Please deposit first, last & security via [random p2p banking app] to hold your place in the que.".......... 1) I haven't physically seen the place. 2) I haven't met you. 3) I'm giving you exactly $0 to hold onto the possibility that I might get the place. Sum total = F off.

    What kind of ratio you got to motivate 140k lbs (63500kg or what say you Canucks) to get going on ground like that.?

    4.10's, 4.30's?
    Super 40's, or 46k rears?
