Well he overweight on the trailer and over on lenght !! 65' all you can be !! How can you tell he is overweight on his trailer and over length by looking at this picture? There is NO indication what so ever as to what state this picture was taken in. So you cant determine what the length laws are for the state this was taken in. And there is no way to tell how that camper is loaded to know what the tongue weight is to figure the weight on the uhaul trailer axles. NOT every state has the same laws as IL! And it is in fact legal to pull doubles in IL. I cant say for sure in this instance with it set up like this on a uhaul trailer. But if the pickup truck had a tow bar on it and was hooked directly to the Uhaul truck. He would be legal in a lot of states. INCLUDING IL if his length is legal. Now would I do this. NO but I know what he is doing and around here(southern il) he would get away with it. They don't screw with people like they do in other parts of the state. And I've seen alot worse than this going down the road. Looks to me like the truck broke down. And he went and got a uhaul truck and trailer to get it home and not get raped by a tow truck driver to do so. Cops around here are smart enough to figure that out and would not even stop him. And 65 is NOT all you can be. IF its a motorhome pulling a trailer yes 65 is the limit. But if the truck has a truck tag that is not the case in IL. Or every semi going down with a 53 foot trailer would be illegal. |

Lol
Yes he is overwieght on the trailer
Yes he is over lenght as well
Lot of places he could get by with it lm sure !
It's easy to see he is all the above !
65' is all he can be without permit
Having been a cop for almost 10 years and working
For a trucking company saftey dept for 5
And now a truck repair facility
Having rented u haul trailers before that size trailer would not be rented to haul anything you see in that pic
And should a UHaul rep see that hate to see the repercussions from that alone !

Alaska and Idaho are 75' louisana is 70, minnasota is 75, North Dakota is 75. How do you not know he is in Canada? Need I go on. Thank god your not a cop anymore because you must have been a piss poor one. Your the same idiot who tried to tell me a while back that you were pulling a empty semi trailer and logging off duty and were pissed you got a ticket for it. How do you know that the camper is not a empty shell and therefore very light. You dont!! Bottom line is you come on here and run your mouth and 9 times out of 10 you have no clue what you are talking about. And just running your mouth.

Semi trailers go by the kingpin rule...53' from kingpin to rear axle, that's why most are movable ( and for mobility) motor homes and trailers are combination vehicles allowed to be 60' in mo...65 in Illinois

Ok super dude
The minimum length that States must allow for trailers and semitrailers in these combinations on the NN is 8.53 m (28 feet) (Figure 3). States must also allow the continued use of semitrailers 8.69 m (28 feet 6 inches) long that were in use on December 1, 1982, provided the overall length of the combination does not exceed 19.81 m (65 feet). The maximum overall length of cargo-carrying units that States may allow for twin trailer combinations when one trailing unit is longer than 28.5 feet is determined
There are also some exceptions for 53-foot trailers. Why can a 53-trailer be operated without a permit when a 48-foot trailer with 1-foot overhang is illegal without a permit? Because 53-footers operate under the authority of CGS 14-262 with some very specific restrictions. The maximum allowable measurement from the center of the kingpin to the center of the rear-most axle in contact with the road cannot exceed 43 feet. The 43-foot measurement is critical: We estimate that 99% of the 53-foot violations involve an improper kingpin measurement. There are also route restrictions on where these trailers can travel (although the list of restricted routes gets shorter each year), and they are allowed to travel only 1 mile from the allowed routes for pick-up, delivery, repair, food, etc.

But overall lenght remains At 65' Some boat haulers and car haulers run under a different rules to lenght RVS pulling enclosed trailers are not except from lenght rules. They tend to be over looked is all But as states start looking at money making mode Look for this to be in forced in some areas |
