After reading all the other replys I don't have anything to ad about the DOT guys or their interpretation of the regs because everybody else hit it square on the head all the way around as to what happens in 90% of the cases. I will say one thing that I found out a few years back, here in NC at least. If you need information call the weight station and ask for the Safety Officer. I got several different answers, to the same question, from the different stations around here until one officer gave me the name of the Seargent that was the safety Officer. When I talked to him he told me everything I needed to know, in plain, undestandable, English. He then told me that he was basically the ultimater one in charge of interpreting the regs and telling the other officer what they meant. He also said if I ever got stopped by an officer and hasseled for doing what he told me to do to have them call him and he would set them straight. In his words he said, ' My name is Sergeant ---- and I am the horses mouth around here. If one of my guys hassels you tell them to call me or you call me and I will set him straight about what the rules say...they aren't trained to interprete them, only to do what I tell them to.' Only been stopped once since then and I was legitimately overweight on my rear axel by about 2500 lbs. The oficer was extremely nice and I stood in the station talking to him about 45 minutes and learned a heck of alot more about what was and wasn't legal. Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
