Figure 3-4. Permitted Longer Combination Vehicles on the National Highway System: 2009
Longer combination vehicles (LCVs) are tractors pulling 1) a semitrailer longer than 28 feet and a trailer longer than 28 feet, 2) a semitrailer longer than 28 feet and a trailer no more than 28 feet, or 3) a 28-foot semitrailer and two 28-foot trailers. Although all states allow conventional combinations consisting of a 28-foot semitrailer and a 28-foot trailer, only 14 states and 6 state turnpike authorities allow LCVs on at least some parts of their road networks. Allowable routes for LCVs have been frozen since 1991.
