Re: DOT and towing race cars
Just curious, does all states require a brake tag for ur trailer. in Louisiana there is a law that has been around for a while and they have been cracking down on people, especially the boaters.

Re: DOT and towing race cars
Each state has its own laws. Iowa is unusual in combining truck and trailer when they set the break point at 10,001 pounds. Most places, either can be up to 10K. Florida gets upset with a trailer over 28' long. NJ has a 45' combined length limit, iirc.

Re: DOT and towing race cars
Ed, like rob mentioned it is an inspection sticker. and yes he is right it in some cases is not a thorough process. some cities or parishes require u to bring ur vehicle to the inspection station, and in others u just roll up to a gas station and roll on out.
