Loading Long stuff in Trucks How far can I have things hanging out the back of my truck(red flagged of course) before I run into problems? |
Assuming a pickup truck with only one rear axle, 4m from the axle to the end of the load. Also consider that you need a light, not just a flag if operating at night. |

So 6' beyond the tailgate or bumper? I can live with that. |
