you were not exempt, they just didn't want to mess with you that day, your luck might hold out, had a guy I was going to buy a trailer from that didn't believe me when I told him he should have a dot sticker on the truck and trailer, he said he didn't need one because he hauled his own stuff, but he got stopped when he went by the scales at Forest Lake Minnesota this week and found out the hard way, had them dip my tanks and check my medical card on 2 lane road before, have had them look at a brand new truck for 30 minutes trying to find something wrong, the sign at the scale means exactly what it say's, everyting over 10,000 must stop, there is no fine print that say's if you haul you own stuff you don't have to stop, that is in Minnesota other states have different weight limits on the signs, the second you put that trailer behing you truck you changed the whole deal, now you really have to meet the rules, just because a couple guy's got away with it doesn't mean you will be lucky enough to have the same thing happen to you, when I come up to an open scale here without a trailer I drive by hoping they don't come and look at the plates on the truck and see that I shoud have stopped, it has nothing to do with the load its the weight it's licensed for, got a buddy that has to deal with the scales on the Minnesota Wisconsin line every week, so this is the deal, do what you want and have your check book ready, I don't like to give them anymore money than I have to so I find it cheeper to keep the stuff in order and up to date, so the signs mean exactly what they say, and your plates mean exactly what they say, so there are no gray areas at all, it's black and white, just have your check book ready because your luck probaly wont hold out
