May have some Issues brewing

   On truck I daily run.  Is a Heavy monster at 35,000 Empty, then is a Bigger issue, sat down with tape measure, and did the Old Basis Bridge Formula that seemingly NO ONE ever bothers with anymore.  Used to hand build Dump Pup Trailers for behind Tandem Dump trucks and had to alter several that could not meet Bridge Law.  Current truck and trailer measure out well above 52' long, HOWEVER, under Bridge Rues must measure from Front driver to rearmost trailer, can ONLY achieve 34 feet there, shuts off the Max GVW to 64500 against license weight of 80,000, close to 8 ton I generally carry as TOO Much.
MoDOT has begun to stretch the tapes recently.
