    Aright then, how about for a ladder? Do you want to drive a box truck or trailer around to hold one ladder and painting supplies or whatever?

    This is basically what I’m talking about, very common around me. Sometimes the load hangs outside the perimeter of the truck, at which point they secure a little red flag so you don’t rear end them and impale yourself. I’d prefer to rear end the bumper of a 22ft truck instead.

      At least a ladder can be secured with more than just friction on the sides, so I’m not as concerned about the safety.

      People were able to move ladders before oversized trucks were a thing.

      But it would work with the “limit them to businesses and trades people who actually benefit from having an oversized truck instead of a small or normal sized one”.
