Yeah — just what is needed, longer trucks. Around here, the 53’ trailers are destroying all the corners and curbs. Not to mention all the traffic jams as of a result of the tractor trailers having “races” up the mountains on the interstate.

What to be more “green”, Walmart? Build your new stores next to a RR line and put a spur in.

Trailer length is not what makes turning corners difficult.

It is wheelbase. The distance from the rear wheels on the tractor to the trailer axle.

Trailer length behind the axle does not affect turns.

I think they replaced every one in Philly. Make work for criminal enterprises.
