A couple weeks ago, I set out on a mission. I tracked down a Vehicle Enforcement Officer from the Kentucky State Police, and then one from the Indiana State Police. I asked both of them some of the questions that pop up on here from time to time. They both gave me the same answers. First, if you're under 26,000 lbs GVW, AND your not a commercial vehicle, you needn't worry about a CDL, or most of the rest of the formalities associated with commercial rigs. You MUST use grade 70, or better chains and binders. You have to have 4 chains on any wheeled vehicle being hauled on a trailer. You have to have ANOTHER chain securing any impliment hooked to the tractor. Should the tractor have a loader, or a back-hoe, there must be another chain over them also. They also told me that you should observe all state laws, and the laws of COMMON SENSE. Don't do anything to attract attention to yourself. A good officer can find SOMETHING wrong with any truck/trailer rig. Don't do anything stupid, so as to make them look closer. They also suggested I go to the local liscence branch, and get a copy of the state(s) vehicle laws. Both officers kept repeating the "COMMON SENSE" thing. John
