Look, speaking as a retired NYSP DOT Trooper, you have to do some homework. Going to RPRU to display a tractor probably (???) isn't under the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle, or so I'm told. Things have changed since I retired. So chances are, and you'll need to check on this, you won't fall under the FMCSR. But, scales are not a Federal issue, they are a state issue, so you're going to need to check with state authority as far as scales and licensing. Don't depend on something a faceless name on a website forum gives you for info. I've seen a lot, and I mean a LOT, of truly bad info given here and elsewhere. Call the states you are going to pass through State Police or Highway Patrol, get the info, get a name of who you talked to, ask every question you can think of, get it in print if you can (like from a state website), etc. Better safe than sorry.
