When did van type trailers over 53' become legal???? I thought 53' was still the max length??

It figures, we finally get a model of a 53' trailer and they're already allowing longer units!

Can't find anything on a 63'. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Cali., Nevada, and Florida allow 57' singles and 53' doubles, but I think overall length is still 65' single & 75' if doubles(?)  Truckpaper did have an add for a 57' Wabash dry box, but it's gone now.

I think there may be a typo on this thread....It looks like a 53'er....I don't think they make 63'ers...

looks like a 57 footer for all purposes there are no over all length limits anymore

My typo.  It's a 57 footer.

i noticed on chucky's picture with the blue argosy day cab the fithwheel was slid all the way up almost to the back of the cab. years ago CF used to run through the state of pennslyvania like that, with the fithwheel slid all the way up to get legal lenth with a set of doubles.it got the nickname pennslyvania doubles.some of you old timmers that ran through pa back in the day might remember that.

Is it me or do the front of those trailers say 55'?

I can't zoom in close enough, but it LOOKS like it says 65'.

I think that's what I'm seeing too...65' Ripley Dedicated. Zoomed the picture in at 400%.
