This is just my opinion,and I really dont know what the law says,but if you have insurance that covers you in Iowa,thats about half of the problem taken care of right there.The whole DOT number thing was to have a way to check up on truck companies and see if they had insurance or not.Next you might need a DOT number.That might not be too big of a deal as long as you have insurance,and wont hurt to have it anyway.The last thing is you probably will have to buy a fuel permit for Iowa.You also might have to pay Federal Road use tax if you dont now.But if you want to go over there with your truck,and your tractors,I dont see why that would be a problem.You just want to check on that other stuff so they dont ruin you at the scale house.Or I guess you can try and get in when the scales are closed.Thats what I would do.Sometimes those guys in those scale houses are real @sshole$.That would probably be the biggest problem you run into,and as long as you arent over loaded or tied down stupid when you cross the scales,and have a DOT number,IFTA sticker(Iowa Fuel Tax Agreement)they might not even give you a second look.They might just give you a bypass light and you pass and not even stop.Tie it down good,cross tie it, with plenty of chains and have them tight,and that might be most of what they look at if they do stop you.If its possible to get a permit for just a few days,do that.As far as the license is concerned,as long as you dont haul over the road for hire,I dont think it matters about crossing state lines.If you are hauling for pay is when it would be a problem.Now dont take my word for it,I could be wrong.Id just not worry so much about the license,they will look at all kinds of other stuff before they even get to that.IFTA sticker and DOT number would catch their eye even if you didnt have a license plate.Ive crossed scales and didnt have a license plate and didnt get stopped,but have an expired IFTA sticker and its an inspection for sure.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
