ENCLOSED TRAILERING LEGAL ISSUES 45 FT PLUS 25 FEET + 70 FEET . OVER 5 FEET???

[John Clawson]

We were stopped by a DPS trooper on I-10 in Ozona, TX in June of 21. He asked me how long we were and I told him I wasn’t for sure, but I thought 65 feet. I prayed while he pulled a tape from front bumper to trailer bumper. He told me we were just under 65 feet and commended me for a “job well done.” He said he never fails to get to write a ticket when stopping bus conversions pulling a trailer. He said that ours was a first. So, there is at least one DPS trooper…

John,

That must have been small town TX and a young trooper or a jealous old guy.

……or someone with nothing to do. Houston area here and tow all the time. Even the TOAD behind the H3 would be too long. You get some that need to make a stop. Usually younger ones.

how long is your trailer? 45’ + 25’ for a stacker is over right out of the gate.
