Default Anyone get hassled for exceeding max car and trailer length?

Though several references state the Oregon limit is well beyond your 60' combo, I think you meant you'd be 10' over a 50' max (not 10")? Nevertheless, some references have it as a 65' max, with some selected highways 60', 50' or shorter. As for Mr. Kelly driving well over most state's combo limit for many years and getting away with it. Have you thought about the risk you put on some sleeping baby's life or yours if you were to jackknife? Are you sure your insurance company will pay physical/medical claims when the forensic police report discovers you were pulling a 73' rig? Good thing the adjusters are too dumb to perform a simple internet search to evidence your public boasting here in social media!


Registered Florida. Federal laws allow travel, but not on all state highways/roads.

Florida Length:
48′ trailer (53′ semi-trailer must have kingpin setting of 41′ from center of kingpin to center of rear axle to be legal)
75′ overall length.

1500 pound trailer jackknifing a 35,000 pound motor home. Now really, LMAO!
Already been discussed with insurance. Not only one doing this.
