Re: DOT and towing race cars
One of these days going to have a trailer.
Where is a good site to view the rules. Also get the feeling some States have more rules than others. FWIW do not plan to go much toward the Mississippi from Maryland. |

Re: DOT and towing race cars
We have had our issues in MN too. The MNDOT told me not to decal the pickup or the trailer. He says that he does not stop people if the entire rig looks safe and that you look like you know what you are doing and are not breaking existing laws.
Most safety checks are for license, break away working, crossed safety chains, load secured including fuel barrels and NOS jugs and the usual tires and lights. If you require the CDL they check logs, DOT inspections and health cards. I have been told that 1/2 to pickups pulling over their GCVW is on the radar. They also have checked the fuel color on diesels.

Re: DOT and towing race cars
Jim,
I can't find the download but Barb just told me she started by Googling Iowa DOT oversize permits. That is how we also found the Florida one a couple years ago. When I get some spare time I am going to start searching the states I normally drive through. Seems like an hour and $20-$30 is better than being taken out of service or fined several hundred dollars. Jok |

Sounds like some of these states are making up their own rules. Or, are the rules different from a state highway to Interstate?? |
