Back in the "good ole days", they were not concerned about a private trucker, only the commercial guys. Due to several factors including, accident rates, 911, need for money in the coffers, etc., they will now stop anyone. The bottom line is you are taking a big chance IF you are rated or loaded over 26,000 LBS and on any public road. They no longer "need" a reason to stop you, if you are on a public road, that is a reason. You can get lucky and do it for years and never get stopped. But they are on to the "dually/gooseneck" rig and will stop them as quickly as any other. Have your wallet full of cash because, just like the DOT having no answers, they can also charge whatever they feel like is fair in some cases. Stickers in the windows, who is in the cab does not really matter. The only reason they will not stop you is if they are busy with another money donator or they just do not see you. They are on the back roads also. Keep in mind, they did not fall off of a cabbage truck, no pun intended.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
