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.
