In 14 years and 250,000 miles I have been ticketed once, in California, of course. It was a DOT officer who hangs around the Sacramento TA truck stop. He actually stopped me as I was coming out of the truck stop and gave me 3 tickets. One for the coach being 45', (before the change in law) a second for overall length of 71' and a 3rd for the coach being too wide, he said because of the awning. When I challenged him on that one he asked me, rather rudely, "Just how many f--king tickets would you like?" I shut up and took the medicine. I was stopped one other time in Ca. and absolutely nothing was said about the coach or the overall length. Obviously, traveling that many miles, I've been thru many checkpoints and even though it is pretty clear that I'm very long, nothing has ever been mentioned
