I don't get it. You sure it wasn't 106"? Which would be 4" over the normal 102" limit. (There are 12" in a foot, not 10 ) The Accident Investor was also one of our CMV guys, he pulled tape on it. I didn’t ask any questions, just laughed at the amount of tickets the guy received. I’ve never written more than 3 at one time. This guy got 11. We can write 3 citations per ticket, I asked why he did round it off to 12, he said he was being generous

Duramax & Allison in late model 3500 GMC or Chevy are hard to beat for full time use. I have a 2007 2500HD Chevrolet Classic With 360,000 miles on it that still pulls my 35’ fifth wheel with no issues. I use it as my daily driver and a dually is a pain in that situation. I use a Ford 550 to deliver fiberglass swimming pool shells and it’s a beast, but no fun empty. You might take a look at some of the relatively new lighter duty Freightliner crew cabs a lot of horse folks are pulling.

One thing to consider is getting a smaller trailer. If you are going to be visiting a bunch of different trailer parks, you may find it’s easier to park a smaller trailer than trying to shoehorn a 36-40’ trailer in some of the smaller places.
Thanks, Rich
