What is the overall length of a tractor trailer rig with a 55 foot trailer?

Well there are no 55 foot trailers. The standard now days are the 53 foot trailers. Some companies have experimented with 57 foot trailers but they could ot be taken east of the Mississippi when I was driving. The total length varies depending on the rig that is pulling the trailer. The combination I believe is usally around 65-70 feet, could be a little less or a little more depending on the rig.
Having recently conducted a study in California in hopes of changing the length law in this state, I measured 67 tractor trailer combinations. 57 of those combinations had measurements that fell between 73-75 feet. All combinations were made up of a conventioal tractor and a single 53 foot trailer. Hope this helps you.

When driving a tractor pulling double trailers which trailer should be first one behind the trailor?
If you're pulling doubles, the first trailer is either the longest one (if you're running Rocky Mountain doubles--a 48 foot and a 28 foot) or the one with the biggest load. If you're pulling triples, the same deal applies--heaviest hooks to the tractor, next heaviest in the middle and lightest in the back.
