I doubt they even look for his license plate as long as he is not overloaded he will probably get the bypass lane.The DOT knows who has money and who doesnt,and I doubt they mess with a farmer.Of course Iowa is bad at their super coops.Also Walcott Iowa is before the Iowa scales isnt it?That means his biggest trouble will be the Illinois scales.Once again,if he has a DOT number and an IFTA sticker,chained down good,they might not notice his farm tag.Even if they do,he is still in Illinois.What can they do?He is going to Iowa with his tractor,we dont live in Russia,I dont see how its their business where he is going.Im sure he wont be the only farm licensed truck out there with tractors going to that show.His biggest problem would be to get in a wreck while in Iowa and not have insurance that covers it.He probably wants to look his drivers license over real good and see if it will pass inspection,like it isnt expired or something and is a class A CDL. Of course Im just guessing,I have never tried to cross a state line with farm tags,and for sure not into Iowa,which has a reputation for mean DOT inspectors.Best thing is to call and see what they say.Maybe call a couple of different people like the DOT and whoever signs their paycheck. Ive seen people about 4 states away from their state,and Im sure some were Illinois farm tags,hauling grain.Now if asked Im sure that the grain belongs to the guy who owns the truck(yeah right),but thats what they will say,and I havent seen one of them shut down for that.Of course I havent seen everything either,and maybe they know what states they can run in and what states they cant.Maybe they dodge all of the scales,I dont know how they do it,but Ive seen them out there doing it.Ive even seen a few trucks pulling a reefer with farm tags.Im right sure they frown on that,but I cant say that Ive seen any setting at the scales for that.Maybe and I just didnt know it.
