Transport: Toy Boxes
October 1, 2005
Common restrictions include vertical clearances, gross vehicle weights,
length maximums, and to a lesser extent width maximums. Some roads carry a
“kingpin-to-axle” length limit for truck/trailer rigs, and this is a primary
reason why you see many transporters with the rear axles separated by a couple
of yards. Finally, if your rig has an LPG/propane supply on board, it may be
prohibited from certain bridges or tunnels.

Driver licensing requirements vary by state as well, with some requiring little more than a health certificate or air brake endorsement and others requiring almost the equivalent of a commercial operator’s license. In general, motorhomes have less-stringent requirements than truck/trailer setups, but the fine print is inherently vague and should be examined ahead of time.
Regardless of which style you prefer, having a toy box lets you take your car or bike to the track and, freed of worries concerning reservations and security of your pride and joy, enjoy the weekend. Isn’t that why you bought a classic car in the first place?
