Yup Yup! I understand & agree completely.

One of my race rigs was a motorcoach & stacker trailer ... just under 65' ... and I was very picky on who we let drive, because regardless of "what's legal" ... it's still big, challenging to drive & a lot at risk.

I was just curious on the length of yours, as it looks like you were right around 65'. I've had & seen non-CDL drivers pulled over ... and if the overall rig is too long ... the Highway Patrol can make the driver choose between staying there until a CDL driver can arrive to drive it away ... or unhooking from the trailer leave it behind.

This happened to us once on a trip to Las Vegas when we had a longer trailer on ... making the overall length over 65' ... and my chosen non-cdl driver to wasn't legal to drive it.
