[QUOTE="pickup, post: 931058"] I think there are laws that require that "53" designation on the side of 53 feet trailers. Massachusetts requires it for example . I am glad of such laws as I can use that "53" sticker as a way to know what I am dealing with. Another interesting aspect of the increasing use of 53s by Ups is the "bridge" laws that apply to 53 foot trailers. Has nothing to do with bridges but deals with how far the tandems (real wheels and yes they can be moved forwards and backwards) have to be in relation to the the kingpin, (while still having the weights legal). For the most part , the bridge laws do not apply to trailers less than 53 feet , so if you are pulling an FSTZ box on the highway, big deal. If you are now pulling a 53 footer more often than before, the chances of having a D.O.T. officer explain the law to you are also increasing. [/QUOTE]
