Rolling DOT Violation
I'm pretty sure that this is the longest thing I've ever pulled. Four wagons, each one is twenty feet long plus the each wagon has a tongue. I'm guessing around 100ft. from the hitch to the end of the last wagon.

Re: Rolling DOT Violation
Well without getting into the complexities of raising burley tobacco, you need the wagons to get it from the field to the barn. I had a nine mile haul, and it cut down on how many trips I had to make.

Re: Rolling DOT Violation
Yeah there are several things that we are allowed immunity on. Still it's always best to use extra caution when moving equipment.

Re: Rolling DOT Violation
If you would have had to back up you would have been in trouble.

Re: Rolling DOT Violation
We used to do that when I loaded containerized cargo into airplanes in the 80s. We would often have 5-10 trailers all hooked together. Just remember to swing WIDE when you turn, and don't even try to back up!
