The width of your semi can’t be larger than 102 inches, except for Hawaii where it is 2.74 m (108 inches). The minimum length limit for a standard semi trailer is 14.63 m (48 feet) or the grandfathered limit for a particular State. A state cannot impose an overall vehicle length limit on a truck tractor/semi trailer on reasonable access routes, even if the trailer exceeds the minimum length required by Federal law.

Please see chart below for grandfathered limits set in 1982.
