Truckers, lets see your rigs!

Guys I'm pretty damn sure the Florida law is only for 10 ft spreads.

California is 40 ft to REAR axle for anything over 48 ft. Awww shucks means I can't go there.

Edit: just looked it up. Anything over 8 foot spread the axles are not considered groups so it's 41 feet to the rear axle if your spread is over 8 feet. But anything 8 feet and under is a group so it's to the center of the axles. You can get a permit for this anyways I believe. Best to call.

Best is just to roll and not worry about it.

All the retarded states full of idiot drivers have a kingpin law (like all of Canada but Ontario’s tractor wheelbase law is the dumbest) US drivers can get around with a 300” WB truck long trailers but the Canadians can’t handle it. My 50’ trailer isn’t legal in a lot of states like Indiana and have never been touched. The state laws can suck it when your just passing through.

One reason to run EoH disc....is ABS is not a requirement for trailers with hydraulic brakes..
393.55 is the abs section for vehicles MFG after said dates..
Hyd tow vehicle required after 3/1/99 (got out OOS on my red dually cause of this..)
Air brake tractor truck vehicles after 3/1/97
Air brake CMV other than tractor truck after 3/1/98

These guys do make a EoH abs 4-6 channel system

Which means my 53ft trailer with the fixed axle at the back won’t work.
Also means I’m not buying a permit.

TN also has some weird law. Kingpin to rear of trailer 50 feet or less which means on a 53 the kingpin has to be 36" or more. Mine is only 24" so it's not legal.

Lol I know. In order to use the KW exhaust I was going to have to buy 2 new steps which would have left no money for red interior lights and shifter extension.

BSFC’s are determined by the sticker on the block, you can’t change that duh.

Friend has a 6.2L F150 Raptor that with him driving gets 10mpg or below. I saw one today pulling a camper, bet that’s a gallon per mile unit.

Don’t you have some snow to shovel ahole?

Just wonderin, did you run the exhaust pipe over the frame then down behind the trans? Or is it a weed burner and the stacks are just for cosmetics

Down between the frame and block, into DPF then through the SCR pipe where it gets dosed with DEF, followed with a trip through the converter where it comes out as sunshine and gum drops. I’m single handily saving the planet every mile.

My BSFC’s are so bad arse now the sticker fell off the block. Finally got it tuned properly for the single turbo I’m running. Sent ECM to Europe and Adolf wrote the perfect file to match the 6.5 Chevy turbo I’m running. Smaller is better for BSFC’s.
