DaveH, you have so far recieved just about every answer possible to your question, so I will throw in my 2 cents also. I live in Iowa, I have been an over the road trucker, and I currently do some hauling with my one ton and 14,000# trailer. With the rig you are driving, you are legally obligated to stop at the weigh stations, but with the 8n ford, which you own, they will not give you any trouble. The one thing they might check is the weight you are licensed to carry. My dually is licensed for 10 tons, which could be easily exceeded even with my lighter trailer. If you choose to not pull into the weigh station, they probably will not come after you. Nebraska does require all pickups with trailers to stop, but again, I doubt if they will give you any trouble. Kansas, pretty much the same. Coming back with a John Deere A will be pretty much the same story. The Bravada on the trailer with the A might raise some eyebrows. Be sure you have the registration for the bravada with you to prove that it is yours. All in all, You could probably just breeze right on past all of the weigh stations and never have problems. One thing I will strongly caution you on, be sure what ever is on the trailer is tied down vey well, use good chains and binders or heavy duty tie down straps. preferably chains and binders on the tractors. A poorly secured load will get the attention of the DOT and highway patrol quicker than anything else you may be doing wrong.
