So, how big do trucks have to get before we can finnaly start improving the economy? Seventy feet? Eighty feet? One hudred feet? [:0] <br /> <br />I really think it makes no difference what size a trailer is to the railroad. What's the difference if a piggyback car has 2 fifty foot trailers or 1 one hundred foot trailer. <br /> <br />Now if the ATA would just foot the bill to rebuild all the intersections that these monsters will have to negotiate, buy all the trucking companies and railroads the required new equipment to handle them, and convince the general public that the increase in weight and length is a boost to the economy, this would be news worthy. <br /> <br />Otherwise it is just smoke and mirrors in the halls of Congress.
