(quoted from post at 19:04:49 09/12/14) Iowa is 10,000 lbs. They have also gotten smart on the "scenic routes" often see them patrolling back roads.
It duffers from state to state; in Alaska it is 8,000 lbs for off road equipment and on trucks it is the difference of having air brakes or hyd. breaks which tops out at 24,000 lbs. GVW or was that way a few years back... However I did just read the current law about the weight limit on off road equipment. I was surprised to find it was only 8,000 lbs. I had to have a trucking Co. move my 1946 Adams motor grader 311. I looked up the statute because I use to have a class A CDL and wanted to know that answer myself. Otherwise, I would have just drove it home. The title, yes title, said the Adams weighed in at 26,000 lbs. But there is no way that old 311's weight is over 18,000 lbs.(quoted from post at 21:13:34 08/28/14) When did they change it to 24,001 lbs.? We had DOT safety meetings at the company I worked for and was always told anything over 26,001 lbs..
(quoted from post at 02:26:36 12/14/14) "Just doing my job!" isn't that what Hitler's men said at the Nuremberg trials? Which lets them off any moral obligations of right and wrong.
