The 40 ft trusses would require a semi, my flatbed is only 24 ft. Also, the 3 axles under the flatbed put me over the 26k where fuel permits, etc apply even though not licensed that heavy.In state is exempt, once I cross state line becomes interstate commerce and all DOT regs apply. Technically, the same issues exist with the livestock trailer as it is also 3 axle, but the farm plate issue is what got me caught in Keokuk IA just 30 miles west of me when I was hauling hay. Got a good talking to by the DOT officer. I probably messed up if they run me thru the national registry as I did go ahead and get a DOT number. Never followed thru on fully activating it, but if that info shows will make it harder to plead ignorance. Before I leave with even the livestock trailer I will fix the safety chains and breakaway coupler, already have 3 new breakaway kits I just need to take time to install on one trailer and replace on the other 2. The gooseneck flatbed never had either chains or breakaway, but has good brakes on all 3 axles and all lights work. Brought my 16 ft bumper pull homemade, IE Iowa State University built, flatbed out of retirement so I can haul lighter and smaller loads with it, but am now getting off the subject of this post.
