I try to be legal when I'm on the road with my truck and trailer so I try to stay up on laws ect. But here is what I beleave is most of the problem. Talk to 10 people and you will get different views of what the laws ect. say is legal and I can understand because it can be very hard sometimes to be clear on how the laws read. Now talk to ten different law officers and you'll get the same results and that's bad news cause they are the ones who can ticket you ect. and win or loose it still costs you time and money. Don't take my word for it try it yourselves you'll be amazed. I talked with a deputy sheriff last week who works a set of scales. I ask him how heavy could I be on a 14,000 GVW gooseneck being pulled by a 10,000 GVW pickup before I would be over legal limit and he said I could have 35,000 on the trailer. No I didn't put too many 0's he said 35,000. I ask what sticker should I have and he said didn't need one if I was not getting paid. I said what about my CDL and he said didn't need it because of the GVW rating. Now here is a man who writes tickes everyday and doesn't have a clue if you get my drift. LOL That's why I beleave the problem for the most part is people and officers just don't truely know and when there is a problem this all makes it worse. My two cents
