follow me to the next exit.she does a full inspect on truck &trailer including
inside trailer.long story short,since they were racecars,entry fees are being
paid and winnings being paid it becomes a federal issue therefore a cdl is
required.also a log book,an medical card.so i waited 4hrs for a friend with a cdl
to come an drive my rig away.so i suggest if ya get pulled over show car in the trailer

That's f-ing unbelieveable -

According to this website my RV and 26' tag ( (68') is over the length limit in every state....how do you get around that ..... This is getting crazy ..... Seems like every time there is a race someone we know is getting pulled over ..... I took the competition numbers off my trailer .... That's a dead giveaway for the police

Whoa! 33' limit on trailer length in Maryland, and 35' in North Carolina. Not good for us truck and trailer guys.....

It looks like nearly every race rig is illegal in New Jersey. Max width 8' and max total length 53'? Almost all race trailers are 8.5" wide. My dually and 22' trailer with RV tongue is almost 48' long. Someone with a crew cab dually and 28' box is too long in NJ...

The people that make these "laws" and most that inforce them don't have a clue about what they are doing. Don't be bullied or BS'ed into submitting to unreasonable searches or procedures.

Joe is your Toter registered as a truck or an RV ??????....I have a DOT inspection site right around the corner from my shop...had them look at my RV and trailer registration 4 years ago and was told ..no CDL required even though it has air brakes...but he says add the trailer on the back and I would need DOT numbers, log book, safety equipment....etc....not sure if the NY laws have changed since then....gonna have to take a walk over and have them check Reg again
