For California, put your trailer in the 5th pinhole from the front, or less. The 5th hole or less. Saves measuring.
Thank You!
Not that hard to measure? 😂
7h
Every trailer is not same on sliding rails, all trailers don't have holes on rails at same distance
yes but tap measure is also the best way
Thank you brother for your explanation I was breaking up my head trying to figure this out.
Thanks men you video really help me you explain fast and simple...

Many thanks it was super straight forward
This is why I run a 60 inch spaced sliding tridem axle setup with lifts on all 3 axles. I normally run my rear axle 5 feet from back of trailer. In non kingpin length states I run it with the front axle lifted, same as tandems to the rear. In a 41/40 foot kingpin state I lift rear axle and run with the front two axles down, same as tandems forward. I can also run it as a spread axle with middle axle lifted.
Thanks! In Tucson, headed to Cali.

Damn California!
Thanks for the tip
The mark is between the axles not the rear wheel. That is the maximum length, yes you can have the tandems all the way up to keep the load legal.
The state of California requires all tractor-trailer combinations to meet the King Pin to Rear Axle (KPRA) law. ... The center of the rear axle on all trailers must be at the 40-foot mark or shorter and must not weigh over 34,000 pounds on the I do know what I’m talking about. Thanks for watching tho
I've heard conflicting comments. Some say center of rear axle .some say center of axles. Which one is it?
cali. is center of rear axle confirm by a chp
No, it's the center of the rear axle. A lot of people mistakenly think it's between the axles but it's not.
In CA it is 40’ to center of rear axle. In Florida it is 41’ to center of the axle group.
What about Oregon and Washington length rules? Or which states that taking serious about length rule on 53 trailers.
Thanks and God bless you, stay safe out there
It's center of rear axle for Cali holes can differ on measurements.
Thank you
Are you still legal if tandems are less than 40 ft? For example if you slide them all the way to front
Yes 40ft or less. If overweight go back to shipper and have them fix it!
@@Mike_Greentea thanks
Now does the center of the rear axle have to be right on the 10-foot part where can it be up closer to the front of the trailer. Example right now I'm set to hole number one
It can't be past that 4ft mark. Our you will get a ticket. If you are closer to the front of the trailer ie. 40ft or less you are Legal. Thanks for committing. Also don't forget to subscribe
Csn you please post a video of Michigan state feet law ?
I appriate that
Of course, you can legally have a trailer that exceeds the bridge length if you have both a D.O.T. waiver and pay a bond to every state you intend to drive through.
Thanks bro
But other states dont enforce the bridge law like California.
I keep my trailer on cali settings all the time
Many don't but its better to be safe then a ticket. Only ones you got to worrie about is Tennessee,Florida, Indiana and California

Oh yes they do. Florida and Georgia will measure you. You You
Does this apply also while carrying heavy loads?
that u wouls call dot they can answer all that
Always carry a tape measure yet yours looks brand new still got the plastic hanger on it.
Why not just make it simple and how CA DOT does it. Measure from center of kingpin back 40’.
What about weight on the drives?
Eugene Street 12k on steers, 34k on drives 34k on trailer.
OK. Here's what I don't understand. What if you set your tandoms for the CA Bridge law don't that puts too much weight on your drives?
Eugene Street if you are over weight on the drives you will need to slide the tandoms forward towards the truck to bring the weight to the trailer. But let’s say u are 35k on drive and 34k on trailer and 12k on steers then you will need to go back to shipper and have them take off the 1k lbs on the drives to be legal.
Never knew this. I run refer and the shippers put as much weight on as possible. I'm getting a load today headed to Cali and they told me about scaling it at the 40ft mark. I'm sure they'll load me with 44k and I'll have to figure it out.
How do you not know that, it's f ing 101
Aren’t you supposed to count every hole even ……? You skipped the beginning no ?
I drive for khight to
Fk yea, thanks
This is not the bridge law, its the kingpin law. The bridge law is the distance between the front and rear axles.
wrong.
bridge law is from kingpin to the rear center axle. your wrong
State Bridge Laws
Therefore, California has the most restricted Bridge Law, which is 40 feet to rearmost axle if semi trailer has two or more axles or 38 feet to rear axle if semi trailer has one axle and does not extend forward of the rear of the cab. As of 2022, these are the current Bridge dont try to tell me about laws. i been doing this 9 years coming on.
@@TravelWithRick313 The 40' mark is the kingpin law for CA, It is not the bridge law. I don't care how long you've been going this or what you think you know, like I said look in the Rand Mcnally truckers atlas and it clearly shows you the difference in the kingpin law and the bridge law.
@user-og1se9qm8b Bridge Laws are Federal; Kingpin to Axle Spacing Laws are State mandated, varied, and although both Laws address weight and axle spacing, they are NOT interchangeable. Don't confuse the two of them. come at me when u think i don’t know what im talking. bridge law is kingpin. dumbass.
I always thought the Mark was supposed to split the axles. Or maybe I'm remembering that wrong now
Nope The state of California requires all tractor-trailer combinations to meet the King Pin to Rear Axle (KPRA) law. ... The center of the rear axle on all trailers must be at the 40-foot mark or shorter and must not weigh over 34,000 pounds on the
This is off California cmv
