The rules are the rules. You think it is bad now you should have been around before deregulation.
The DOT do not care about weight and tags when it comes to personal. The SUV that is over weight per the tag can still carry this weight safely. Your state just needs to update its system to allow for the bigger personal cars of today.
But cross the line and make money at it and you are in a totally different ball game. The DOT has to draw the line in the sand somewhere and I can tell you no matter where they draw it somebody will be pi$$ed off. So make money; even if that means fixing up one tractor a year it is still making money; and you fall under DOT rules.

Those are all licensed professions now. So why should just any Joe be allowed to conduct business on our highways just because he can drive a Toyota.
By the way all states have weight laws. Federal law sets the minimum and states can allow more. For larger trucks it is....... 12,000 lbs for a single tire axle 20,000 lbs for a duel tire axle 34,000 lbs for a duel tire duel axle

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
