The laws here for trucking vary from state to state on length, kingpin to axle, overall, and what not. I've spoken to those who made long haul trucking their living, and it's a nightmare for them. Some states you have to pay a road tax. Other states you have to pay road tax, or, buy fuel in their state. It's pretty wacky.

I didn't see one of those when I was in Nevada myself, but that is, what we here in Australia call, a road train. So it is possible that you might have actual real fullsize trucks (Tractor if you prefer) instead of just those half size things I saw so many of. I could well be wrong! The size of the trucks I saw when I was over there, are considered small here, we have them, but they're in the minority.
