The bill defines "towaway trailer transporter combination" as a combination of vehicles consisting of a trailer transporter towing unit and two trailers or semitrailers:

  • with a total weight not exceeding 26,000 pounds; and
  • which carry no property and constitute inventory property of a manufacturer, distributor or dealer of such trailers or semitrailers.
