Sorry, that was not true. If you were following Doghouse you would see the humor in what I said.

I have no idea if mudflaps are required.

I'll bet most trucks are "pulled in" due to an audible air leak.

This an excellent point.

Every legislator that voted to de-regulate the trucking industry should be made to watch this. This is what you get when you elect neo-conservative, free market advocating politicians.

BLONDE MOMENT ?????

From what I remember if you were bobtailing you had to have them on the back of the tractor but if you had a trailer on you did'nt. But the rear of the trailer had to allways have them and they had to be 4in or less from the ground !!! Even a BLONDE could figure that 1 out !!!!!

A tractor is only required to have mudflaps when it is NOT pulling a trailer. If you are "bobtailing"...you are required to have mudflaps. Trailers must always have mudflaps.

All that is right as far as i know. pretty much it means that the tires that are the farthest back need flappers. Tractor if bob tailin'. Trailer if attached.
