With over thirty years experience with big trucks and more than a million miles on the black top let me rain on your parade.

Yes, all states are different, but the governing federal transportation regulations at title 49 CFR override all subordinate state laws and regulations.

At ten thousand lbs gross vehicle weight you are under the jurisdiction of the above cited DOT regulations, not twenty six thousand as previously cited.

To be on the safe side and not subject to a nasty ticket, or vehicle impoundment, it would not hurt to be compliant with respect to licensing requirements, both vehicle and operator. Also since we move old tractors around for enjoyment, load securement is a critical area that needs to be addressed.

This is going to become a great source of $MONEY$ for state and federal gov't and has been facilitated by the enactment of the (un)patriot act.

Even though a great hobby is now, needlessly, more difficult and costly, I know that I will sleep better at night knowing that the terrorists of the world will not be hijacking our antique tractors. LOL
