My Favorite Highway "What are you waiting for?"
There is no maximum height
The maximum distance allowed from the rear axle of a commercial vehicle trailer to the rear of the trailer can vary by jurisdiction. In the United States, for example, the Federal Highway Administration typically allows a maximum overhang of 4 feet beyond the rear axle for most trailers. However, specific regulations may differ by state, so it's essential to consult local laws for precise measurements. Always ensure compliance with both federal and state regulations for safe and legal operation.
