DOT police going to Charlotte

DOT starts @ 10000 lbs. Tag weight includes the truck and trailer. Almost all trailer tags are token, hence the truck has to be licensed for the total weight. Lenght is state to state.
NC has some problems. Last year I assisted a racer who got tagged, and we were going to court. I sent the Governor a letter. Got a reply, and the next day the friend I was helping got a call from NCDOT wanting to settle for the overweight on one axle for a total of $44 instead of the $1150 proposed fine. When it comes to race stuff, DOT exemptions, and odd stuff like that, most officers don't have a clue. NC on its website has specifics for race car stuff. Lots of detail, even though last time I looked, the regs did not match the pictures.
