on designated highways
and establishes a maximum length of 28 feet 6 inches for trailers or semitrailers
operated as part

  . 3. Allows double bottom vehicles to operate without a permit and with
no overall length limits
on designated highways. Double bottom milk trucks up to 60 feet long may
be operated on
other highways.
