Were you able to stand in the same zip code when you shot it??

 

Unreal.  I'm surprised that it still has its rear corner parts.

Maryland State Police Command Unit:


I finally managed to photograph this humungus rig!

 

2004 Kenworth T2000/Kingsley Coach

Isn't there a federal regulation on how long a vehicle can be?  I know coach buses can now be 45' and semi-trailers can now be as long as 53' but this truck sure looks to be longer than either of those other vehicles.

MSP Command Unit is 56' long but:

Trucks or Straight Trucks

<p style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:13px;">Trucks or straight trucks are non-articulated self-propelled cargo-carrying CMVs (Figure 15). They are subject to Federal weight requirements on the Interstate System and Federal width requirements on the NN, but not to Federal length requirements. Vehicle length regulation remains with the States. http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/FREIGHT/publicat...m#straight
