Question Re: If your coming to houston this weekend and your rig is o

so a 40ft MH and a 28ft tag trailer is ILLEGAL by how much 3 ft or 8ft??thats with a 3 or 4 ft drawbar and a 28 ft box---so if ya have a 40 MH ya better have a trailler that is no more than 25 ft long measuring from the ball mount to the back of the box right??? looks like a 20 foot box might just make it the way I figure

Straight out of the State of Texas Transportation Code 621.205. Every race I get asked by someone look at that rig how in the hell does he get away with that! I always say I hope he has a permit.


(a) Except as provided by this section, a combination of not more than three vehicles, including a truck and semitrailer, truck and trailer, truck-tractor and semitrailer and trailer, or a truck-tractor and two trailers, may be coupled together if the combination of vehicles, other than a truck-tractor combination, is not longer than 65 feet.
