True or False: Motor vehicle carriers may carry loads that extend beyond their legal length limits, but loads must not extend more than 3 feet beyond the front or 4 feet beyond the rear.

The statement is true because in Missouri, as well as in other states, specific regulations allow motor vehicle carriers to carry loads that extend beyond legal length limits under certain conditions. The regulations stipulate that loads can protrude a maximum of 3 feet beyond the front of the vehicle and up to 4 feet beyond the rear. This allowance is in place to ensure that while carriers maintain their legal operational boundaries, they can still effectively transport larger loads when necessary. It is important for drivers and carriers to be aware of these limits and comply with them to avoid penalties and ensure safety on the roads.
