In this instance we aren't talking about a trailer longer then 53"

The question in my mind is, with a total ovel all length of 80' tractor and trailer when connected; where do the limits expressed in the url referenced come into play if at all. Apparently the whole trailer length question also hinges on the distance from the king pin to the axle. And some roads are one type and others are another. I've started asking CHP officers and even they give you different answers although they do seem unaimous in that over all length cannot exceed 65' in California except with a special permit. It remains a very, very confusing issue to me.
