I did not know about the reciprocity rule so I may need to move.
My info from Rules Of The Road book shows the length limit in Minn to be 60 ft and Oklahoma to be 65 ft. It is a couple of years old so the laws may have been updated.
It also shows Louisiana as 70 ft.
I do have a friend who lives in Minn and his rig was close to 80 ft and he has received several over length tickets with one costing well over $1000. The same patrolman wrote him up two weekends in a row and the cost of the ticket went up the second weekend. He now has a shorter rig.
It would be nice if the Feds would give a standard length across the country.
I have been told it is a standard 75 ft as long as you are on an Interstate highway but I can not find that in writing.
All this just makes getting to the races more stressful day by day.
