## Summary

**Creates an explicit under-80-foot length limit for certain truck tractor–lowboy trailer combinations and exempts lowboy trailers from rear-overhang flag rules.** The bill also defines “lowboy trailer” as a semitrailer with a depressed section used to transport assembled highway vehicles and ties that definition into title 49 length rules. - Truck drivers and auto haulers: Establishes a maximum length of less than 80 feet for a truck tractor–lowboy trailer combination when the front overhang is under 4 feet and the rear overhang is under 6 feet. The limit applies even if the truck tractor cannot or would not use overhangs to carry cargo. - Lowboy trailer operators: Removes the requirement to use rear overhang flags under 49 C.F.R. 393.87 for vehicles meeting the new lowboy definition. - Regulators and carriers: Adds a formal legal definition of “lowboy trailer” in title 49 so the length and flag rules apply specifically to those semitrailers.

## Provisions PRIA read

- New length and flag rules for lowboy haulers: mixed, low. This bill would set clear size rules for auto haulers using lowboy trailers. A tractor plus lowboy trailer would be limited to under 80 feet when the front overhang is under 4 feet (measured from the rear of the tractor to the front of the trailer) and the rear overhang is under 6 feet. This limit…
