Missouri is one of those states where I see these all the time I believe and Missouri has a 60 ft limit.
Are the laws outdated or what?
The triple hook setups just have never made sense to me due to safety concerns.
My 2 Cents

Hi all,

Several months ago I had posted information on this subject after doing research and speaking to Motor Vehicles a Federal official etc.. I have been in the Trucking Industry a long time and have some experience dealing with overlength issues. Do a search here on the site.Maybe there might be some information that will help. By the way what I did find out is that all state laws are generally different.
