[AT] Towing

Fri Sep 1 20:36:45 EDT 2006

LOL!  I remember when that legislation went through.  The public was
sold a story that Indiana was costing the transportation industry lots
and lots of money because the interstate truckers had to break down
their big rigs, cross Indiana with a single trailer, and then put it all
back together again when they got them to the next state.  I don't know
if that story is true, but that's what we were told.

Indiana  at  one time   had  laws  that  held  in check the   doubles
and 
triples  of semi trailers---  FEDERAL gov told  Indiana  they couldnt
stop that  
 they were the only ones that could...    so   we have  legal    double
and 
triple  semi trailers...  and   so--- this  let the door open for
NON--semi  
trailer to be doubled... (the state was able to  hold in check  triples
ON  
non INTERSTATE hyways...)    

and   thats  why  you cant pull 3  wagons  LOL 

( my take on the  article I read   10yrs ago in a  truckers magazine)
