The long combination vehicle is a tractor trailer configuration which is roughly 130' long, compared to the average tractor trailer unit, which is 75' in length. Yet, these massive big trucks hauling around two 53' trailers are perfectly legal on our highways.
How can these massive machines possibly be safe? Does common sense not dictate that something almost twice the length of the average truck and trailer would be dangerous for numerous reasons?
The M.T.O. in the province of Ontario supports them as do most of the other Canadian provinces. Each of the provinces has a set of rules and guidelines for the operation of LCV'S. However, these units are not monitored as stringently as initially promised when they were first allowed on the road. It seems the governing bodies are becoming careless with monitoring these behemoth machines on our highways and roadways.
Shippers and receivers love these configurations.... twice the freight for a little extra 'chump change'..... a very lucrative deal for them, at the cost of the safety of the rest of us on the road.
