COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE CARRIERS

[mweng]

Does anyone have the dimensions of a typical commercial automobile carrier (6 to 7 vehicles)? I would like overall length and wheelbase. I want to know if it is closer to a WB-50 or WB-62.

I should have mentioned that this shows allowable vehicle lengths for NY. While the 1981 STAA act set minimum standards, vehicle laws still vary from state to state. Longer trailers may be allowed in your state. I suggest checking with your state/provincial DOT's permit office to be sure.
