[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 928691, member: 6408"] Can't be. MOST states don't allow more than 2 28 footers. Ours is one. Some states that DO allow only allow on turnpikes or interstates. Have to be put together at break down area before cities and individually taken into hub or center. Denver, and others MAY be heading in that direction but for them to continue to drive into neighboring states, those that don't allow such combos, they're gonna have to continue to keep 28s. Another thing, most in-state centers barely have room for a 28, let alone a 40 or 53. If you've been around your state and had to place a center load in a door, chances are you're aware that UPS acquires or buys the cheapest place they can find, with no consideration as to how a trailer is gonna get in there straight. Yrs ago, we had a center that had their unload door in between another building, someone elses building. 45' between buildings and 40' of trailer to put in door and jack up. Try it. A hole was ground into "pavement" where back left duals would slide around while jack-knifing trailer around. But the building was CHEAP. [/QUOTE]
