It was the same way in NC for a while. No tandems allowed. Then the Feds
said you have to allow them on the Federal highways (interstates and US
routes). Last I heard it was still that way. No tandems on State highways
or rural routes in NC. We really don't see many tandems here even on the
interstates.
