I hope this makes sense. Keep in mind that the farm is 45 minutes from the state line (MO- I'm in KS).
The neighbor's L8000 needed a new pump. I recommended my diesel mechanic who is on the Missouri side. We loaded it on the trailer and took it over. It is done now that we are all half way through bean harvest.
We could go over and load it up to bring it back across the state line but none of us have the time to mess with it. It would take us 4 hours to get it loaded, chained down, and home. We could drive it home except we aren't legal in MO. It has no DOT number as it only hauls in the county and not for hire.
I know that you can buy a day fuel permit to make it legal. That's what the guys do that haul to a sale barn over the state line. Used to be you could get them at the sale barn.
I am aware of guys that tried to chance it and ended up with a $5000 fine. Question is - are fuel permits universal? Can I stop at a KS weigh station and pick up one that works in MO or do I have to go all of the way to a MO station to get one? We would go get it after it is too late to cut beans so a station won't be open. Being the one with the connections is a pain.
