Figure 3-4. Permitted Longer Combination Vehicles on the National Highway System: 2008

Longer Combination Vehicles (LCVs) are tractors pulling a semitrailer longer than 28 feet and a trailer longer than 28 feet, a semitrailer longer than 28 feet and a trailer no more than 28 feet long, or 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 fourteen states and six state turnpike authorities allow LCVs on at least some parts of their road networks. Allowable routes for LCVs have been frozen since 1991.
