Thanks, guess I won't tell them I have a rental properties or I barter with friends. My tractor is 3100 #, trailer is about the same 3100#, truck weighs in a little over 5000#. Tags on truck are 7K, trailer is 9K. So gross is under 16k. SO, I'm not commerical.
I'll tell the cops it's for my personal use only.
My breakaway is connected to the same place I connect my safety chains. Got that right.
I eat breakfast with a 75 year old man who drove semis most of his life. His one son is In DOT the other is In State cop. Next time his son shows up for breakfast, I'll get it straight from the horses mouth.
You may be right, many lazy cops or cops who don't know anything pertaining to trucks and trailers.
My well driller gets stopped by DOT, they give him a hassel, never a ticket. He has a big drilling rig and pulls a trencher. He has DOT#. I think he get hasseled over a CDL. Not sure the details. I think his drilling rig is like a farm vehicle and DOT doesn't like that idea. His trailer is a 14k trailer with 9k tags. That upsets them too.
If they ever hassel me about a 14k trailer with 9k tags, my tailer will be listed on craigslist and I'll but a new low profile 10k.
I've seen many people with 3 dixie choppers, many weedwackers, leaf blowers on a trailer. Landscaping sign on truck. NO DOT#. Cops don't stop them.
I'm not worried, been lucky for 10 years. I WILL POST BACK IF I EVER GET A TICKET, SEE A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS PULLED OVER, OR I'M TOLD FROM FRIEND'S SON, WHO WORKS FOR IN DOT, THAT I NEED NUMBERS.
Yep, I'm no longer in the rental business or work for friends. That info I'll definately use if some young DOT cop pulls me over. If they ask me where I'm going, I'll tell them to my other property. Which is where I'm usually headed, Thanks George
