I use the poly-whatever jugs like are sold through the mail order companies.
But I got a feeling that it get more complicated, especially after a certain amount.

Make sure the trailer & the truck are both registered in the same name. (cops check that) and make sure the truck is registered in a persons name not a business. Register it to a business and it is a business vehicle and subject to DOT regs regardless of length.

I got pulled over last year and was told it did not go by what you weigh, but what the GVW was, for the plates.

Don't know if it varies by state, but here in Florida the DMV told me to tag my truck for the combined weight of truck & loaded trailer. So I got 19,999. I believe the cheaper trailer tag was based on mfg. weight, not what it's rated for.
