That's not correct, necessarily, depending on your point of view, or which way is considered toughening it. In this case, the STAA was enacted to standardize weight & length laws. Before the STAA, things were really crazy. Imagine the patchwork of laws we have now, then apply it to size &...

Nope, other way around. The state can allow more, but not less. The STAA was enacted to see to that. Problem is, the STAA wasn't updated when super singles were put in service.

Twice a year? I was changing each every 4-6 weeks. Super bright, a huge improvement over the stock bulbs, but expensive to replace so often.

A Volvo day cab.

There are times the engine would get shoved up into the driver's compartment. Legs got crushed. I'm sure technology advanced to reduce that risk, but I'm sure it could still happen. Sitting higher was part of the cabover appeal. Better visibility. That's why I pump up the seats all the way now...

I enjoyed cabovers, lots of room inside. But as they say, if you get into a collision in one, you are the first one on the scene.

Well, sorta. They didn't request it. They did it as part of an ongoing investigation, likely one among many. When it was discovered how they had listened in in the suspect, the defense moved to have it suppressed. And the court granted that motion, but not for privacy reasons. When the feds were...

I'm surprised they haven't. But as far as tracking cars, I think most 'Muricans are sufficiently cowed to accept it. The "if-you-haven't-got-anything-to-hide" crowd is huge. If you object, you must be one of the America-hating evil-doers, and you belong in Gitmo, being waterboarded. You'd be...

I don't know how long it would take to recharge this via the solar cells. May not be do-able. But the zero fumes, zero noise part sure looks attractive. http://www.herringtoncatalog.com/t578.html

I agree. People go way too fast in the winter. 70 is as fast as I'll go on ice.

Really? I can count on one hand the times the van was loaded to the point I had to sleep in the seat.

I drove 3 of those stretched tractors, and none of them were welded that way. Entire new frame rails were ordered, and it was all one piece.

That's what I'm doing. It's annoying replacing them every 2 months, and other drivers flash me all the time, so I guess I need to re-aim them. But I just can't go back to the pathetic regular headlights I had. We must shop at different Wal-Marts. I can never find them there. They carry the...

Not very, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-64XzNYh5eI&feature=youtube_gdata_player -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

Ok, so I clicked on a different message when I replied. Looks funny, but same info. 2012: Ron Paul or not at all. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Because overall length was brought up and it was stated that straight trucks are limited to 40. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

Both. The annuals were done at varying places, the first of each by whoever stretched them, followups various places. Level one inspections done at various scalehouses across the country, probably including Cali. We went through there with them several times. One time, there was an...

I don't know where it's found. The owner found it out when he was stretching them. He did it with several that ended up at 45'. One was a Volvo with a 77" sleeper and had more space between the box and back of the truck than the Century Class. They were all DOT inspected several times over their...

I mean a 24 foot box. That takes you to 45' behind a class 8 tractor with a 72" sleeper. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.
