    This is what happens when politicians create laws and never revisit them to make corrections. Im a pretty tall person and i was on a dealship lot walking amongst the trucks and the amount of them I couldn’t even see over was terrifying. How much bigger do these need to get before they start classifying them as big rigs?

      In the US? I don’t think there is a width or height requirement for a Big Rig (something that requires a CDL). Vehicles cannot be over 102 inches wide, any anything over 80 inches wide requires some additional marker lights. Height, anything up to about 13 feet is fine and legal. Maximum length is 65 feet. CDL’s are generally for certain weight limits, (26000 lbs) not physical dimensions.
