dot compliance

My trailer is a 2 axle with a gvw of 9,670 so I am safe.
I do not pull a stacker like many do.
I have been through Neb. many times and had no trouble.
I also do not stop at the scales. No one has chased me down yet and I now have 100,000 miles mostly going racing with the trailer behind me. Most of those were without the Class B I got this last year.
Like I said it all depends on the officer who takes a look.
I have friends who have had trouble with their 1 ton dually and trailer due to the 26,001 and many officers just do not like race cars when they look inside the trailer.
Nothing is totally safe.
My 2 Cents

driver for hire: i have a cdl class a with all endorsments, been driving a hazmat truck for a couple years, would much rather drive one of these big race rigs, leave room for my small racecar please, this may sound funny but putting me on your payroll would probably be cheaper than the fine! (hope this isn't highjacking of this thread) just thinking about possibilitys
