There are all sorts of different requirements for different states. Some allow more than federal regulations while some allow less. The so-called standardization is referred to as STAA dimensions. As already stated, states have to allow trucks of STAA dimensions on their interstate highways. The 33-foot trailers have been in use around here as city singles for at least 15 years. I don't see what the fuss is about. New York and Massachusetts allow double 48-foot trailers on their toll roads, with maybe even double 53-footers allowed. But, they have to be permitted and broken down before leaving the highway. I have seen many triples in many Midwestern states, but usually only on the toll roads. Railroads are efficient at moving large quantities of material long distances, but quick or even timely service is not part of their vocabulary. Most of the arguments about safety are just so much bluster. No matter what it is, any change in status quo will be supported by some and opposed by others. That is the nature of change.
