There are all sorts of different requirements for different states. Some allow more than federal regulations while some allow less. The so-called standardization is referred to as STAA dimensions. As already stated, states have to allow trucks of STAA dimensions on their interstate highways. The 33-foot trailers have been in use around here as city singles for at least 15 years. I don't see what the fuss is about. New York and Massachusetts allow double 48-foot trailers on their toll roads, with maybe even double 53-footers allowed.

Most of the arguments about safety are just so much bluster. No matter what it is, any change in status quo will be supported by some and opposed by others. That is the nature of change.

The TO-20 was a dead ringer for the Ford 9N and 2N models and they say that Ferguson did this on purpose when the Handshake Agreement wen
